This morning, I checked my ammonia (.25 ppm) and I was curious if the nitrites had appeared yet. So I do the test and left the room and came back and the nitrite tube was dark purple!

Its weird, because I've only been cycling for 2 weeks! And i've heard that it can take up to 8 weeks just for nitrites to appear. So am I super lucky or have misread the tests? Here's some pictures of the tests:
