i dry out any coir that i use for brachys under the grill.
but saying that , i have noticed twice (when ive rushed the drying ) a slight condensation on the inside of the tubs.
it hasnt caused any problems , but i would advise drying it out completely in future

wow! you like bumping your threads, check out the word "patience" in the dictionary!

If you've just re-hydrated your coir it will have more moisture than normal. Its probably better to dry it out but it won't harm your T if you let this dry out naturally. Almost everywhere in the world experiences rain, dew and moisture of some degree so a temporary wet substrate is no cause for concern.
Make sure there's enough ventilation to allow the condensation to escape
