Jim i hang my larger caudex for 1-3 months med 1 month and small few weeks just keep squeezing the caudex thats its energy store if it starts to wrinkle and soft (you know not mush) you need to pot.. you will do fine and after a few months when it comes in to its glory you are going to sit back and say WOW why did i wait so long!!!
keep us informed if you can do any pics please if not at least let us know.
