It's the ammonia you want to test and be concerned about...

If you can dose up to 2ppm ammonia and clear it to zero in 24hrs, then you are cycled.

+1 Idoc.
Dont worry about the Nitrates until your Ammonia is able to be processed in 24 hrs. If you are processing ammonia it will be converted to Nitrite, after that it becomes Nitrate. Your Nitrates will continue to rise, and you will do a very large water change at the end. However, the cycle is a waiting game, dont rush it. Like everyone will tell you, only bad things happen fast in this hobby.
