 Need advice, running short on time.

Hello everyone! I have a bit of a dilemma and am unsure on my best course of action. I nocced 10 half pint jars per the pf tek, 6 w/ Burma spore syringe and 4 w/ Huatla syringe (both multispores). Once they were 100% I let some sit for a few days but the rates of colonization all varied. I did my best to be consistent with the different needs of my children 
Currently, I spawned 2 Burma jars to 50/50 pasteurized coir/verm at around 1:1-1:2 ratio, I eyeballed. This was put in the bottom of 2L bottle, electric tape around the sides of sub. Shit colonized like it was nobody’s business.
Also, I spawned three Burma’s to again 50/50 coir/verm @ 1:2 approx. This was in a decent sized tupperware also with taped sides. this also, spawned like an animal.
And finally I birthed and dunked 2 Hutla cakes and 1 Burma for 24 hrs, added about 1/4 inch 50/50 coir/verm on top of the cake once put back in the jar to grow in vitro.
So you see, 8 cakes are setup differently as to not put all my eggs in one basket and to see what works. My issue is this, I am leaving for vacation in 6ish days. The two spawned to bulk have sat and colonized for about 3-4 days. I noticed some growth, it looks almost like baby mushroom but I’m aware of the knot to mushroom cycle. It honestly looks like mycelium expanding upwards but I’m not sure. I have less then a week to get fruits which really sucks because everything has been going very smoothly. So far no contams and all jars took in some way the other two left out aren’t finished.
So, I am looking for advice on what to do, maybe to help initiate pinning? I will post some pictures I took and maybe if you could give me some pointers on whether these chambers are adequate(fae, humidity)? I also am misting and fanning about 2-3 times a day. My vacation is 5 days long then I will be back.
This is truly heartbreaking because it has gone so well and I definitely could get some good mushies but I think time is going to win this battle :/
For the naysayers, I had thoroughly planned this out and started a month +2 week before my trip, which I thought would’ve been enough time :/

You can't speed up nature how long you gonna be gone on vacation.
I doubt you have pins in 3-4 days.

Yeah deep down I know I’m gonna come up short. I leave in 6 days and will be away for 5 days. Maybe if there is a way to stall the mycelium for a couple weeks? Then fruit when I get back?

you cant speed them up. Go away, come back, you'll probably have something nice waiting for you.
As long as you dont have crazy low humidity or wayyy to much FAE then being gone 5 days shouldn't completely destroy anything.

Hm ok. I am trying to upload pictures but am having issues lol it’d be easier if you could see but I’ll try to explain. The 2 L has small holes punched in a ring about 1/2 inch above sub. There are holes towards the top and some on the sides. I also punched holes on the cap but can’t make up my damn mind if I should have cap on or off.
For the tupperware I took the same sized one empty and flipped it over on top trying to mimic a dub. The top dome if you will has holes more similar to sgfc.
The jars have a plastic bag on top secured with rubber band around rim of jar. I spray the inside of the bags and the inside of the 2L and the inside of bottle to increase humidity.
I think the consensus is to let them sit over vacation. So should I cease fruiting conditions? Should I put foil on it and stow it away or? This is where I’m most confused.

Pictures are easier. Go to pics. Upload. It gives you instructions.

Doesn't look the best but definitely not the worst.
Give them a mist. Especially before you leave for vacation as long as pins have not set in.

Yeah this is my first grow. Any tips for improvement next time? I get the concept of pretty much everything until it comes to fc’s. Anyways, so should I just continue what I’m doing? Should I plug the holes before I leave or anything or allow for extra fae since I’ll be gone?

I have a new idea. What if I took the two bulk Burma’s and mixed the subs together. Then, place all in one container to maybe make a dub tub or even proper mono. This would do two things, disrupt whatever the mycelium is currently doing requiring it to recover in the tub, which would take time I assume. And make me follow a specific guide for making a good fc. Or should I just leave it. My surfaces are also quite bumpy not level due to the clumping of the brf cake. I only squished it in a bag no grater. Will the surface be an issue?

Id leave it be
Bumpy surface usually equals uneven pin set which is w.e
Just make a proper fc next time

Thanks for all the replies, I really appreciate it. Ive decided to spawn it to a dub tub. I just got polyfil and two 6qts from what I’ve read if you do it right it should be set and forget which is what I need. So I whipped up some more bulk sub (I don’t have nearly enough for 3inch) and will spawn everybody in tomorrow. This also I think sets the process back a little which can’t hurt. I’ll post updates I am curious to what I’ll come home to

Idk, there are many pros to doing this more than cons imo but I am new to this. What would be your reservation about it? Will it get contaminated  I’m also thinking this would be the best bang for my buck, and yield more than my other attempts combined but again idrk.

Update: I took the spawn from the square Tupperware and the one Burma in jar and mixed it with roughly 2-3 qts of coir/verm mostly coir in a 6qt. I got a nice even surface and good depth. I left the 2L alone because I think I see some knotting so I didn’t want to disturb that. So I have a Burma dub, 2L Burma, and two jars of huatla. I have two other jars of huatla, one is past 100% and the other only germinated in one point and has almost covered everything. Any ideas on what to do with those? I sort of have more than I know what to do with.

Are the jars brf or grain. I'd spawn brf as soon as it's 100% plus a few days. Brf likes to pin inside jars where grain doesn't.
This is a tub that broke apart on me like a week ago. Still worked but I know my shits clean so I didn't care
