Any way to stall some brf jars for a few weeks?

Hey, so i have been trying to search and see if there is a way to stall some 100% colonized brf jars for a couple weeks, and then fruit them afterwards? Im getting mostly mixed things and really old posts, so i would like to make sure before i try it.
Here's the deal. I have some jars at 100%(some that are pinning and some that arent yet), and i am going to be going to the beach on July 5th and getting back on the 10th. So I was wondering if i could just stick them in the fridge now, and then taking them back out and birthing them when im back, on the 10th. Or at least just stick the ones that arent pinning in.
I know people have done this with grain, and master jars(i think?). but im not sure about brf jars.
or should i just birth them now, and try to get one flush before i go, and bury them afterwards? those are about the only options i can think of, and not even sure if the first would even work. I tried to time this better, but these jars just took a lot longer than i thought they would haha.
There is absolutely no one who can come and mist/harvest while i am gone. that is just out of the question.
thanks everyone. ill start on my second SGFC they will go in, just in case that is my only safe option.

cool. hope is works out.
should i put the jars that are pinning in as well? 2 are B+ that have some 1-3inMAX pins and then there is the GT that has some actual fruits in haha.. like.. prolly 4-5inmax.. so maybe at the very least i should fruit the GT..

Or... You could just leave them at room temperature in the jars the whole time and let it fruit inside the jars people have done it successfully many times.

Idk about the ones already pinning. Putting it in the fridge brings mycelium growth to a NEAR halt so if it's already fully colonized and pinning it may cause problems. I'd wait for someone with more knowledge to answer that one.
And yes, if you fruit them inside the jars you just leave the tops on and everything, you don't do anything at all except wait for those jars to pin and grow their mushrooms. once the mushrooms are mature, you just unscrew the lid and pop it out like a cake and collect your treasure. I've seen quite a few pictures of many growers who had a surprisingly good yield from doing this and requires significantly less issues as opposed to fruiting in a sgfc (which is fine because you'll probably be moving on to bulk soon after this anyways and want to do monotubs).

Ive put brf 1/2 pint jars in the fridge for a little over a month right as they hit 100% colonization. Then i actually scraped off the verm layer with a sanitized fork. Then used a separate sanitized fork with alcohol scraped the brf into fine crumbs and transferred it to oats like g2g. It colonized 2 qts of oats from one pf jar with no contaminates. Then transferred exponentially to more oats.
All from reading eatualives techniques. Seemed like it would be quite risky, but it turned out clean to my suprise.

They will just grow in the jars, search for "neglect tek" and a user called hippie3. You could possibly take the jars with you, they would not need misting or anything.

I have always put both cakes and grain jars in the fridge to stall them.
Have only needed to do this on a couple occasions but it works...
I would probably cover the lids with some foil or something, or put the jars in some ziplocks just to be safe. A fridge, even when it appears "clean", is probably the 2nd dirtiest place in a home with the bathroom being 1st...

ok cool. ill be doing this, then, with the 100% ones. the pinning ones, im just gonna birth, i think. try to get a flush, and then either leave em out, or most likely bury them. it will be alright. i think i might try to start some more jars to colonize while im gone, anyways. but grain, this time, i think. if one or two of the plates im workign on right now come out looking really nice.

I vote leave them at room temp....ideal consolidation time is 2+ weeks....we just tell noobs one week because it's too hard for them to wait while they are so anxious to get their sgfc's full
I would guess refrigerating a pin would kill it....it's happened to agar plates of mine....pics later if you want....

i mean, i guess maybe i should.. it's just that they hit 100% between 2 and 6 days ago, for the ones that arent pinning. meaning if i leave them(the non-pinning are AA+ by the way), it will be literally 14 more days at the least until i get back, and if they act at all like the B+ and GT, then they will have pinned, fruited, and maybe even rotted by then.
what im trying to say, is that my biggest worry is them rotting in there, and then rendering the rest of the cake useless(would it?).
hmm maybe i should just take my chances that way i guess.. i just put the AA+ in the fridge, bu if everyone thinks i should take em out and just leave em until i get back then ill do that. at this point, i really dont know haha.
i guess i will just take em out and leave em.
and i guess ill do neglect tek with the ones pinning, and when they need to be harvested, i might just harvest, dunk, and put the cake back in the jar, open or somehting. or put it in the SGFC, but inside the jar so it will retain water. idk. haha.
pft, im just gonna eat two tabs and 2g and not worry about it =p\
