Just realized concrete curing blankets are way more critical than I thought

Found out from an old project manager that improper curing can reduce concrete strength by up to 50%. He showed me a core sample from a job where they skipped the blankets and it basically crumbled in his hands. Anyone else ever seen moisture loss wreck a slab this bad?

Yeah I had a crew leave blankets off overnight and the edges looked like cracked mud by morning.

Did you have to peel and repour the whole thing?
