Thought power troweling too early was fine until I saw the blisters on a 1,500 sq ft pour

Last Tuesday we poured a 1,500 sq ft slab in Fresno and I let the trowel sit about 15 minutes longer than usual because the mix looked stiff to me. Waiting that extra bit actually let the bleed water dry up just enough, and the finish came out flatter with half the passes I normally make. Has anyone else found that hanging back a few minutes beats jumping on it right after the bull float?
