Talk to your supplier.
The rule of thumb for "non fortified" concrete was to keep it wet for 7 days
after setting at which stage you've reached the point of diminishing returns.
Modern concrete suppliers have a range of modifiers and additives at their
disposal that can minimize or eliminate the need for watering.

Subject: [TowerTalk] Concrete curing time
Hi All
I'm ready to pour the concrete for the foundation of my US Tower
HDX-572MDPL. The foundation plans call for a 28 day cure of the concrete. I
have seen others say that you need to spray water on the foundation 3 times
a day as well as keep it covered with burlap for the curing process. Does
the foundation need to be sprayed for the 28 days or can I stop at some
point in the process? The reason for asking is I am going on vacation about
halfway through the 28 days. I can get my neighbor to spray it for me but
would rather not.
