Bottle bombs: how quickly do they act up?

Just curious about bottle bombs: how quickly do they typically go boom, if they do?

I have a conditioning batch I have to let go unsupervised for two weeks (in a safe place), and wonder if something could happen in such a short span of time.

Sooner or later or never.

The only time you need to worry about bottle grenades is if you bottled too soon and overprimed.

If your FG was 25% of your OG (meaning 75% attenuation) you should have nothing to worry about.
