Advice needed - will be away for 3/4 days after colonization/fruiting

Hi all.
Have a few brf jars colonizing which seem to be going well. I estimate they will be fully colonized and ready to move to a fruiting chamber in around 2 weeks. Only problem now is, I need to go away shortly after this time for 4 days maximum.
Had a few failed attempts at colonization stage due to contams so this would be my first time fruiting.
I'm after some advice about having to leave them whilst fruiting? I see the how tos and guides say about misting/fanning a few times a day. What are the risks of leaving them for 4 days? If this will impact the whole process, is it possible to delay the stage from colonization to fruiting by storing them at a low temperature or can that have a negative effect if stored for too long?
Any advice appreciated

After they fully colonize you are suppose to give them an extra week to consolidate before taking them out of the jars anyways. So you should be fine.

Yes, I'm taking that into consideration with my times. The jars will probably be fully colonized in 1 week then an extra week they'll be ready go fruit which is will fall on when I won't be here

I think he's accounting for the consolidation time, but still, this would also be my suggestion, just delay fruiting. I'd slap some tape over the holes and leave them in the dark to cut down on the chances of any pinning triggers, duct over 3, micropore over 1 if you have it.
Another possibility is to do your dunk and role, throw them in an unmodified tote, mist the cakes, walls, and lid of the tote, and leave them in there while you're gone. I've gotten good pinsets this way, and they definitely won't dry out since hardly any water escapes the container, just a bit of excess CO2 buildup. When you return you can give them all the O2 they need to produce nice fruits, pinning will probably just be starting by the time you get back. 15qt and 40qt tote worked nicely for 6 of my cakes if you have one handry.
--------------------
I spawned some popcorn casings and had double-overlay cause I didn't put enough hydrogen peroxide in my automated aquarium mister. I only got one mushroom so I cut off the head part where the seeds fall from and put it in a jar of LC and sprayed it all over a tin of PF cakes I made with gravel, cardboard, and bisquick in my microwave. I think it will be good cause B+ is so potent. Triggered yet? Only a square would say "a cube is a cube."
No, this does not look right...

Itd be alot safer to just consolidate them for a few more days than leaving them alone right after spawning

A week long consolidation is the minimum. Two weeks is better. Leave em in the jars for best results.

I'm just estimating they'll be fully colonized in a week so hopefully will take a bit longer and ill just leave them till my return if so.
Thanks for the help!
