Cycling confusion--- Help me

Hey everyone so I am not exactly new but its first time trying this method out of cycling a new tank and been out of the hobby for a bit.

SO I am using the dr Tims one and only and ammonia system to cycle my 20 gallon all in one tank . I followed the directions and added 2ppm ammonia, the next day(day2) I tested and just had exactly 2ppm ammonia and nothing else. today (day 3) I did all my test and my results are as follows

 

ammonia- between 1.2-2 closer to 1.2 though

nitrite- 0.5-1

Nitrate- 5-10 

 

so I am pretty confused because yesterday I only had a reading on ammonia but now today I have a reading on all 3 but my ammonia lvl has stayed the same. I guess I just don't know what to do next. I only have dry rock and sand in the tank with some marine pure blocks in the back so no livestock to worry about. I know ammonia is supposed to rise then drop following by a rise in nitrites followed by the rise in nitrates but thats not what has happened lol
