Nitrogen Cycle finally over!

Yes! My cycle is finally over! Do you guys think I should wait a few more months (it's already been about 3 months)to add live plants, or does my gravel have enough nutrients already? Should I do a water change just to clean the tank or should I just let it establish for a couple more days? Here's the test stats my cycle wrapped up at

ammonia: 0
nitrite: 0
nitrate: 5

Whew, it's finally over!
