Leaving this ten more days

If i decide break up this one 1/4 pint brf jar with coir, is it ok to let this go another ten days in the jar?
The idea is to wait until just before I go out of town for ten days then in a closed tub let this get going unattended.
Also, I assume I should remove this and other fruits that start pinning. Would this be correct, good, just ok or not such a good idea?

So you're going out of town in ten days for ten days? It's gonna take ten days to start pinning anyways, why not spawn it soon and wait to introduce fruiting conditions til before you leave?

depending on how many cakes you have ready I would let them consolidate until you have 4 to shred per quart of substrate (you mention coir) if you plan going to bulk with these instead of fruiting as cakes.
pick the pins and eat them if you are going to shred cakes! we recently pulled 11g of pins off brf cakes that were 100% for over two weeks, made for a nice honey/lemon tek microdose shot otherwise ok to just leave them on for birth and dunk, they will grow out when cake is put in FC. the cakes got shredded into 6q shoeboxes, four well consolidated 1/2 pints spawned to 1q cv mix then pseudo-cased with 1p cv, well misted, and latched shut. GT cakes done this way on 27NOV is pinning now. if you shred spawn them cakes to small tubs/shoeboxes then leave lid unlatched, they'll push it out of the way if they grow that much while you're away.

Ok. Great idea. Now I just have to make sure I understand what this means. If I spawn to shoebox and keep the box closed until I leave then to initiate fruiting I .... (I’m obviously a noob so maybe I don’t understand) lol

Thanks for this! I have two in this same shape and two which I put into sgfc ten days ago but nothing yet happening with them. In theory could I still shred all four together and go with the shoebox method? Though I’m not quite sure I understand 100% what distinguishes shred & spawn from fruiting. (Yes I still have much to read)

see this for the general of it, mushroomnate's BRF to bulk, cakes as spawn
cakes birthed already to SGFC may not be a good idea to shred to bulk, they will be bringing all kinds of contams to get buried in your coir since they've been exposed so long. best is to shred cakes right after birth, you rinse them off (the verm layer on top has been your contam filter, so get rid of it) and use cheese grater to shred cake and mix that with your substrate (coir as you mentioned)
we use eatyualive's unbucket tek for our coir+verm mix and make it just under field capacity to use with ShaperDreaming's SFF shoebox assembly and her shoebox factory is our model for the rest (also substituting millet for grains in our other shoeboxes). Shaper's assembly talks about using brf cakes in lieu of grains and gives the measures i mentioned last reply.

Yes, yes, yes! Now I’ve got this.

hehe
you can always use smaller containers as well for the two cakes you have not birthed yet, couple quarts in size to hold 1p cake shred 1p coir and have some space to lid. shred/spawn into mini-tub and place lid on just prior to leaving town. 10 days return and see either 100% colonized and/or pins already.
also, leaving them cakes as is, in jar, is fine just birth, dunk and roll them two when you get back. 'invitro' pins do no harm, eat them or birth/dunk them on cake into SGFC, they will likely grow quick while more come in.

welcome back Pbello! everything is here, for sure, knowledge, experience, wisdom floods the place with many generous and helpful folks. i've only been around for a couple months, reading here months prior to join, got some cakes, shoeboxes and Pods going now, all good fungi fun.
I did want to mention, just saw another post about one who got tired of waiting for their first ever cakes to fruit in FC so shred them to shoebox. I dont know what the results will be but wouldnt expect spectacular, my concern being contams on cakes landing for two weeks getting shred into bulk sub as i cautioned you above.
still think it better to either fruit as cakes or spawn them 1:1 cake:coir ratio. go light on cake shred and the gamble of who wins the race goes higher, shred contaminated cakes gamble become exponential in odds against even a mediocre harvest, in my inexperienced opinion.
