Need advice on leaving cakes alone for 1 week
    #25035270 -

This is my first attempt and I have some BRF cakes that are 3 days away from being full ready to birth.  The issue is that I did not expect the cakes to take so long to be ready for fruiting - it has been 6 weeks now and I'll be going for 1 week at the end of March.

So I have 3 1/2 pint jars ready with some CR cubes.  Any advice on how to proceed since I will be gone for one week at the end of March.  So, in 3-4 weeks I will not be able to do anything to maintain/ mist or FAE the cakes for an entire week.  I doubt I would have anything ready to harvest in such a short time - right?

I recall reading that placing the cakes in the fridge will put them into a hibernation of sorts - is this true?

Thanks for any advice!

Put them in a sgfc and mist heavily before you go

Wow - that would be perfect if that can work.  I guess the cakes will be about 2 weeks old in the SGFC when I leave so perhaps they will be stable enough to keep going with a heavily misted chamber when I leave.

Thanks!!

Like bodhisatta said, mist heavily. If you use perlite, mist the crap out of it, mist the walls and top. They will bruise for sure.

Thanks for the info guys!  They will be about 2-3 weeks along so I am hoping it goes okay.
