First grow, 1/4pint jars, any chance of shrooms in a month?

Hi forum, I'm mostly a lurker Adobe the shroomery, especially on the cult forum because I hadn't started cultivating yet.👋
BUT THE TIME HAS COME. Got the spores in the mail with no problems. I'm planning a few approaches simultanously because while I'm not sure I want to make a career out of this exactly or even a permanent hobby, I imagine it is something I will enjoy and will return to as needed.
The pretext for my question is this: I'm leaving on a weeklong trip in about 4 weeks and some days, almost 5 weeks. What I want to know is is it POSSIBLE that I could have at least 1.5g per perso for 2 people in that time?
For details: I have two boxes of BRF jars prepped for PF TEK (waiting to be sterilized & inoculated when I get some time in a day or 2) and some agar plates as well (i think 12?). One box of jars is 8oz/half-pint, the other is 4oz/quarter-pint jars. I have some shoeboxes ready to go for some brf-to-bulk shoebox grow, but I will also grow some as cakes to stick to the PF TEK more closely as a control (so if I fuck up I know I at least properly stuck to the ultimate noob tek so I can troubleshoot better) and because they might fruit a tad faster than the shoeboxes. When they're done I'm planning on putting them in capsules mostly, for discretion, easy transport, ease of use, etc.
So what are the chances I can get some of these 4oz jars colonized pretty quickly & have some fruits before my trip? And it seems it's not a huge deal if I don't get them ready by the time I leave (just disappointing) as I've read around the forum & it seems the general advice when trying to delay fruiting before time away is to fridge/freeze them (which is better/safer?), which is an option for me.
And I know I didn't provide lots of detail here so if people need to ask me anything about my plan or my setup I understand haha.
Thanks for any insight you can offer me.

Im going to start off by saying I'm pretty new to this and im on my first grow, but I have spent a lot of time reading and researching these forums, so don't take my word as law or anything.
If you are going from spores I would say it's doubtful they will be ready in that time frame, not saying it's not possible. Spores can take anywhere from a week to a month to start showing signs of mycelium growth, then you need some time for it to colonize the cakes, then a couple of weeks to get fruits. Spores are kind of a crap shoot because you have 100's to 1000's of genetics going all at once and it's impossible to tell what kind of growth you are going to get.
As far as delaying fruiting the fridge is the way to go, freezing them will damage and most likely kill the mycelium.

No, unfortunately you won't have fruits in just a month. If your cakes were already half colonized, then maybe, but still it would be doubtful instead of impossible.
