Is this normal in the cycle?

Hello today I added liquid ammonia and some quick start I let it sit for 6 hours and checked it, it is at
4 - ammonia
1 - nitrite
0 - nitrate
now what I’m wondering if it normal for the nitrite is at 1 on day 1 is that normal what should i do?

It is possible nitrite is 1 for your tap water
I would do a 25% wc to bring ammonia down to 3ppm

You could add 1/4 dose of starter
