Default Using campden and accidentally killing off yeast

Hey guys and gals,
If I crushed up and added three campden tablets, added it to six
gallons of apple juice from a local orchard, and pitched WL cider
yeast 7 hours later will it be fine? Or would I have poisoned yeast?
The cider yeast had a 6 hour head start in a pint of unsuplhited apple
juice.

(I understand that cider seems to be a .brewing topic generally, but
sulphite expertise isn't there like it is here.)

I'd say as long as you've got an airlock on it, I'd leave it alone. Wait
til it stops fermenting and go from there. What was the initial specific
gravity?
