Need Advise: Middle of the Flush and I have to take a 4 day trip!!!

Hey guys,
I am in the middle of my first mono-tub and I am finally starting to see mushrooms sprouting all over. I have to thank you all so much for all of the advise and knowledge that I have gathered from this board - it has truly been an awe inspiring journey.
I started seeing pinning 13 days ago, I started seeing fruit about 3 days ago and now mushrooms are springing up all throughout my tray with my largest being about 1 inch high. I have to leave on a tip in 5 days. I will be away from my home for 4 days and I am really perplexed about what to do. Here are my major concerns:
1) I am going to pick any ripe fruits and set them out on newspaper in front of a fan to dry. Do you think 4 days under a fan will damage them in any way?
2) I am concerned that my box will lose a lot of water since I will not be misting the sub or the fruit chamber walls. Should I give the it a really good misting before I leave and leave some standing water at the bottom of my tub? (My mushies are in a tray and not touching the floor of the tub)
Do you guys think I will be alright? Any advise or guidance would be much appreciated. Thanks so much!

U could give the mono to me and ill take care of it for u 
But most should be mature b4 u leave, pick and put infront of the fan like u said. And i would just mist it good. U can bottom water, just pour a lil water in each corner of ur tray. It should be fine. Itll just be real fuzzy by the time u get back from no fae.

Ya theyโll be done, harvest and put them in the fridge and throw them in a dehydrator when you get home, unless you live somewhere very very dry, fan drying is not recommended. Give them a nice heavy misting after harvest or put a couple ounces of water for them to soak up and drain excess before you leave.

I wouldnโt put them on newspaper, I would put them on something where they will get air flow all around the fruits, like a mesh screen or something like that, especially if you have no dehydrator. Just heavily mist your tray before you leave. Is your tray in a SGFC? If so, your FAE should be fine.

Thanks for the advise - I just ordered a dehydrator online because of your concerns about the fan dying system.
I also have a different question - I would if possible like to get a second flush. Would you suggest waiting until I get home before I dunk it and try and go for round 2?

Dunk it before you go. Should start flushing again by the time, or sometime after you return.

Fridge is fine for a few days, depending on how well you package them they will be fine for up to two weeks. Depending on how quickly you can get them dry a fan can work but why settle for any loss in potency from oxidation when you can get a brand new dehydrator for under 40$ on amazon (or like 5$ at the thrift store) and have most mushrooms dry in 12-24 hrs
