Adding LR during cycle?

Under the pressure of a person at a LFS I only bought half of the LR I’m going to be using. I am now regretting that decision and I’m wondering if I can add the other half now? I am in the process of cycling and the tank looks pretty nasty. I have some redslime and other cruddy looking stuff going on. I really don’t want to have the whole cycle happen again when I add the other 8 or so pounds. Any thoughts? BTW I have a 12g Aquapod with a sand bed, about 5-7lbs of LR and a few lbs of base rock. TIA
