When seeing up my tank with Eco complete do I need to plant it right away or can I set it up fill it and plant it later?

I know this is an old post but I have the same question. Can I put in Eco-complete, dry scape, and plant/flood 3-4 weeks later? Or is it better to plant immediately after putting in the substrate?
 
I assume it wouldn't make much of a difference. Areas that flood annually have fertile soil for both emersed and submersed growth. As long as the flooding doesn't cause a major unbalance it should be just fine. Study and copy nature.

It does not matter how many years you have had Aquariums you never stop learning as there are always new products on the market for the Aquarium trade.

It should be fine. The microorganisms in the EC probably won't die.
