Hey guys, i just dunked my cakes, and getting ready to roll today. But my friend invited me to cali from this monday to friday. What should i do? Do you think the chamber will be okay? Is there anything i can to to pause them? And also if anyone has an idea for my SEEDLINGS(plants) too, i can't just leave them in the sun(too hot), but they need some light or they will stretch..... ANY help with these two concerns? Also i just got a part time job at the mall, i start this mon. should i blow it off?

In my opinion, why would you put effort and money into your hobby, and then leave your cakes during the final seven days of the grow? Unless your chamber is automated, then your cakes will suffer from lack of FAE and a continuous light cycle.
Do you live by yourself or with a roomate? Get someone to look over it for you while you're gone. If there's no one to look after, it seems rediculous to screw a new job and kick all your effort out of the window just to leave town for a few days.

you can play it safe and drain well but not yet roll, put back in the jar and just keep sealed & refrigerated, fruit when you get back
if you're feeling adventurous put them in the FC now. it takes around a week (more under poor conditions) to start pinning anyway, and up to 5 or 6 more days after that til harvest.. you could be surprised with nearly grown mushrooms by the time you get back. sure it may not come out as good as if you were there showin them love but you can do that on the next couple of flushes coz there should be plenty of food left if the first batch comes up small.
have seen it myself w/cakes, actually returned to really fat pins (like the size of a thumb in thickness) but no more than 1/2" to 3/4" tall... started right up on FAE & misting and they took off and within 48 hours were huge (was in an FC without auto air and really nasty spore crusted perlite barely hitting 90%RH)
so i say hell go for it the worst that can happen is a mean green colony living in there shooting out those scary yellow puss bubbles

just case them man. then you can crack the lid of your chamber and not worry about not having 99% rH. won't get the pinset you would with fanning and might get some haggard looking shooms but you'll be fine. though i doubt you'll have grown anything in that week you looking athem just pinning in that time. so the haggard fruit thing only applys if you go away for longer
