Fishless Cycle Help

[drillsar2]

I'm cycling a 10 gallon tank which will be used for freshwater,

I started this on April 2nd

Water TEsts

4/4 Ammonia 5.0, Nitrite 0

4/9 Ammonia 5.0, Nitrite 0

4/10 Ammonia 4.0, Nitrite 0.25

Added more ammmonia about 3 drops

Test Today

Ammonia 5.0, Nitrite 0

Im confused how come nitrite isnt rising?

I have 1 Live plant in there, temp at 80 degrees, only thing I added was top off water

Using stress coat or is that the problem?
