How long has it been cycling for? Have you experienced amonia and nitrite spikes? If you you have once the nitrite drops to 0 you should be good to go

Does the ammonia also go from 4 ppm to 0 ppm in under 12 hours?

Don't worry, you're doing your very best, you've come on this forum and you're checking your water stats and the situation seems under control. The fact that there is no ammonia and very little nitrite suggests that the cycle is nearing its end. I would still wait a bit before adding more fish- that is, assuming you are not already fully stocked.
