Opening pool, need to SLAM

Hi!
I'm opening my pool for the season with a nasty case of mustard algae and need to SLAM the pool. So far I've only tested PH and CYA with the TF-100 kit. PH IS 7.5 and CYA is 0. I've got a sock of stabilizer hanging in front of the return to bring CYA up to 40. I anticipate the remaining stabilizer in the sock should be dissolved within the next hour or 2. I know it takes about a week for the CYA to settle in before I can re-test it, but I really want to start the SLAM sooner rather than later before the algae gets further out of control. How long after the stabilizer fully dissolves can I finish taking my other chemical readings and start the SLAM?

Thanks!
