3 weeks is a while off yet. Your using a regular scfc? I would just mist the hell out of it, make sure your perlite is nice and moist, and cross your fingers. Not much you really can do.

not sure what the sc fc is. but do you think this would work I was thinking of trying just pick off any shrooms that have grown then placing them in water in the fridge like an extended dunk ... and cross my finger which do you think would be the better chance that they'll make it

Sgfc (shot gun fruiting chamber). I dont think id let them sit in the water for a whole week. By the time you go away your cakes may be near there end anyway. Wait about 2 more weeks and then start seeing how healthy your cakes are.

thanks alot and i dont have a shotgun fruiting chamber just one of the carts that have the pullout drawers, thanks you for the advice i really wasn't sure what to do. another question if you don't mind ... you said the cakes may be done by then i have only grown one other time but my cakes fruited for like almost 3 months the last time i kept getting shrooms they would grow i would pick them all, then dunk them overnight wait about 3 or 4 days and I'd have shrooms again this went on for about 2 and a half or 3 months and they would have lasted longer but i tried to case them and it didn't work so i threw them out by a tree anyways is that not normal for them to last that long?

If your going away for only a week, try picking the mushies before you go and dunk them. that way you can set them in the chamber and they should be growing by the time you come back. Every cake is different. I dont usually mess with them that long, but more power to ya if they are fruiting for 3 months. A cake will last me a few weeks before I toss it.
