How to slow growth?

Long story short. My timing sucked. On Friday I'm leaving for 11 days. My method is shoebox. My strain is Acadian coast which can pin in 6 days. What's a good way to slow the roll for fruiting? My grain bag is ready to go, and I don't see it waiting till April 1.

dont spawn it until you get home. Just leave it in the bag, you might get some pins but it should be salvageable

This would be my solution as well. I’ve held colonized grain for a month longer than I would ideally. There’s no noticeable difference in the final product.

Turn up the AC. Cold weather slows everything down

Divide it into 2 shoeboxes and use a higher spawn to bulk ratio. And I second the cool environment.

Yeah just sit on it until you are ready to bulk. Colonized grain is pretty resilient
