When they are done power troweling you can start wetting. By that time the surface is cured enough that the water won't bother the finish.
I remember as a kid seeing pours that were covered with burlap and soaked with water. The data experts will say it takes concrete 30 days to fully cure. During that time it needs to "slowly" lose it's internal moisture. "Fast" loss causes cracks.
In your case sunshine will cause the most evaporation at the surface.
