Logger Debug

Hello,

I'm currently working on my own logger program. However, there are a few issues that I can't seem to work out.
The main problem is that it is selecting slot 5 when it shouldn't be.
This is probably caused by my ineptness to place end statements in the correct positions.

IN A FEW MINUTES I WILL UPLOAD A VIDEO THAT OUTLINES THE ISSUE

The way that the program works is that it runs on cycles. There are four cycles, one for each type of tree. Cycle 1 is an Oak Tree, Cycle 2 is Spruce, 3 is Birch, 4 is Jungle.
When the program starts up, it asks for an input. Whatever the input is, that will be the FIRST CYCLE that it does

THIS PROGRAM IS NOT FINISHED! I've only completed the first two cycles.

The code can also be found at http://pastebin.com/bFvdWxFY

Here's the code for the program:

term.clear()
term.setCursorPos(1,1)
print"Logger initialized!"
print"Please select cycle"
write"Cycle: "
local cycle = tonumber(read())

if cycle==1 then
   print"Cycle 1"
  if not turtle.detect() then
	turtle.select(2)
	turtle.place()
	print"Cycle 1: Oak Tree Planted."
  else
	turtle.select(3)
	if not turtle.compare() then
	  turtle.select(2)
	  if not turtle.compare() then
		turtle.dig()
		turtle.select(2)
		turtle.place()
		print"Cycle 1: Oak Tree Planted."
		sleep(.5)
	  end
	end

  turtle.select(2)

  while turtle.compare() do
	sleep(1)
  end

  if not turtle.compare() then do
	turtle.select(3)
	if turtle.compare() then
	   print"Oak Tree detected. Cutting..."  
	end
  end

  while turtle.compare() do
	turtle.dig()
	turtle.digUp()
	turtle.up()
  end

  while turtle.down() do
	turtle.down()
  end
  if not turtle.detect() and not turtle.down() then do
  cycle = 2
  end
end
end
end

if cycle==2 then
  print"Cycle 2"
  if turtle.detect() then
	turtle.select(5)
	while not turtle.compare() do
	  turtle.dig()
	  turtle.place()
	end
  else
	turtle.select(4)
	turtle.place()
  end
  end
  turtle.select(4)
  while turtle.compare() do
	sleep (1)
  end
  while not turtle.compare() do
	turtle.select(5)
	if turtle.compare() then
	  print"Spruce Tree detected! Cutting..."
	end
  end

  while turtle.compare() do
	  turtle.dig()
	  turtle.digUp()
	  turtle.up()
  end
  while turtle.down() do turtle.down()
  end
  while not turtle.detect() and not turtle.down() do
	cycle = 3
  end
end

Thank you for all your help! I will definitly upload it when I am done.

Likely that.

For eg:

  if not turtle.detect() and not turtle.down() then do
  cycle = 2
  end
end

Here, unlike with "while", the "do" is not treated as part of the declaration of the "if" block. It's considered an opening for a separate block. Lua reads it as something like this:

if not turtle.detect() and not turtle.down() then
	do
		cycle = 2
	end
end

Yep. Definitely helped to clean up the end statements
