I completly agree. I'd give it a week and then start stacking. However, I'd
do my best to keep it wet so that hydrolysis continues....
Good luck and see you in the pile ups!

For most purposes 7-10 days should be enough to begin building a tower. No
need to wait one month unless you are building a monster tower.

Congrats Douglas!
The Concrete manuals say that concrete will reach 75% of its 28 day rated
strength in 7 days. Almost 90% in 14 days. For tower building, 14 days is
already overkill. 7 days is plenty. Obviously, the other question is what
was the specified mix strength. If you have 5000PSI concrete, then its
already stronger than typical building foundation concrete after only 7 days
of cure.
