Default Water Changes/Gravel cleaning

I'm waiting for my new tank to cycle and so far it has zero ammonia,
nitrites and nitrates. Should I postpone doing a water change until one of
those goes above zero? Will doing a 20%+ partial water change/gravel
cleaning slow down the cycling process if its done tomorrow?

Thanks,
E.Otter
