going out of town in a week and a half. should i fruit now or wait?

Hey everyone, so my 24 brf jars are 100% colonized (all of them have been since this past wednesday-friday). There is even a little invitro pinning going on in a few of the jars. the only issue im having is if i should fruit now, or wait.
I have to leave town in 10 days (12/20) though could probably push it back to 12 days 12/22 and i will be back in town in 14 days (12/24). I have a roomate who is totally cool with misting and fanning for me while im gone, as it is an easy thing to do. The only thing im really scared about, is if i fruit my cakes, will they be ready to harvest while im gone? I know my roomate could probably do this for me but he doesnt know nearly as much as i do about everything involved in knowing when to harvest and how to dry them and then re dunking the cakes. I know i could show him (I probably will just in case), but i would feel MUCH more comfortable if i was there to do it myself (im sure you would feel the same way right?) Im just concerned because ive put alot of time and money into this and would hate for it to go to waste or not get as much as i could out of it 
So what do you guys say? If i fruit now? (dunk tonight, roll and put in sgfc tomorrow night) do you think i can harvest before i have to leave? or should i let the jars sit a few more days and aim to harvest when i get back in town (12/24)? I understand it all varies as far as timelines but as far as your experiences have gone, how many days does it usually take you guys from the time you put your cakes in the sgfc to the time you are harvesting?? Any advice or tips is greatly appreciated!!!

you could try putting them in your fridge while your gone to try and slow the growth, but if they are at the stage where they are pinning you might want to fruit them and have your buddy take care of them. its always risky asking a buddy to help cause you cant control the process. i did that once and i came back to a bunch of dead cakes. its your call what you do.

ahh yeah idk. funny too because when i first started the entire process i knew i was gonna be out of town those days and my estimated fruiting date lines up right around there but i figured there would be variances and i would surely be around for harvest but look at me now! oh well, il still consider myself blessed that im expecting harvest on my first grow! I think il probably just fruit tomorrow. ive already got my fruiting chambers ready to go with wet perlite and everything. Guess il just hope for the best! hopefuly things go speedy and i can harvest and re dunk before i have to leave town!

Will do! Im actually gonna have to do a little more research myself on harvest (just for re-assurance) as this is my first time! I plan on giving him a little crash course on it though.

i'd fruit it now if it's ready, just in case you can tell him when to harvest, then just simply let him mist/fan once in the morning once at night till you get back then dunk yourself, cakes benifit from a rest period between flushes

  It doesn't matter what i think of you...all that matters is clean spawn I'm tired do me a favor
