Is it possible?

What does your tank "look" like? I cycled for six weeks before I added my first two nemos. There was a HUGE brown diatom bloom that covered EVERYTHING inside the tank. The reason was because of MASS DIE-OFF inside the LR, which led to the bloom 1-2 weeks later. You could hand remove sheets of this stuff! But don't! Diatoms are a symptom not cause and are helping consume nutrients in the water.

If you added wild LR, chances are that you will soon have a diatom bloom. Once the bloom subsides ON ITS OWN - then it's probably time to add a FEW fish. Keep in mind, your tank is never fully "cycled." The bacteria population of a stable, 2-nemo tank is different from a stable, 20-nemo tank regardless of water volume. If you add bio-load or nutrients (dead animals, too much food, etc), your tank will "mini-cycle" and grow more bacteria until it stabilizes.

My tank had been cycling for about 3 weeks now. The 2 of my LR now became very dark brown. And one of them has lots of white and greeny things growing on it..

tank cycling will normally take about 4 weeks. but for my case I left my tank cycling for 6 weeks before doing water changes.

no live stocks were added for the first 6 weeks. do not rush into adding any live stocks.

just let the tank cycle properly, this will reduce a lot of problems in the later stage of your reef tank.

the other not so good but cheaper way is to take water from water cooler..kekeke

Ya. Make sure your boss not around also. Hehe. Carry whole tub home. Hehe.
