I think I left mine for 3 days in the end I think. The instructions I followed said that the activation will not do loads with the sugar water which will still be sweet and I don't recall noticing much of a change in the water/grains visually either. I got live(?) grains though rather than de-hydrated so that could be something of difference depending on what you've got?
Thanks for the mentions of water kefir here I got some grains recently and am now at the drinking stage of the first batch which I'm very happy with. I've liked the milk kefir from the shops I've been having but the water kefir is so much lighter that I'll be sticking to it moving forward. Think my production is going to be way more than my consumption at this point though so might have to start drinking more of it through the day as well.
