Gotta plan ahead of time for when you are going to be gone, but most learn that the hard way. I remember having a sgfc with a handull of cakes sit there in a dark still air closet for 2 weeks and this is what came of it.
Right now I have about 20 qt. jars that just start colonizing from a g2g I did yesterday, and then on the 30th when I come back home for a day I will spawn them to a few monotubs. Then I will leave for another 12 days, but when I come back they should be ready to be put into fruiting conditions. Just gotta plan things out.

Here are my recommendations:
Colonized spawn can go into a monotub/tray. Then it can be colonizing while you are away. You'll have 7 days before you have to look at it. If you can't put together a tub or tray before leaving town, put your colonized spawn jars in the refrigerator.
Apply casing layers to your tubs or trays. You can mist them down big time before you leave. The casing layer may dry out a bit .. but you can mist it hard when you return. The moisture in the substrate will be retained. If fruits begin to grow, they will draw moisture out of the substrate .. anyway .. you can leave for 3 or 4 days without any huge problems.
Cross your fingers and go!
Not all surprises are negative. I've returned to really nice surprises. Neglect often works better than you can imagine.

I'd imagine if they aren't getting large then they might be close to full grown by the time you leave.
Pick them before you leave. It's better to have a bunch of half mature mush and come back to primordia on a second flush than to come back to a purple and black tub and overly mature mushrooms, which are unappealing IMO. Not to mention if you let them produce spores it will inhibit future flush efforts, if not killing them entirely.
