Mini Shotgun FC Trusted Cult Help PLEASE-RR

Hey all,
im interested in creating a mini SGFC to possibly house 2-4 cakes MAX.
The purpose of this is to have an isolation FC as a backup in case 1 or 2 cakes seem like they have minor contams but i want to try and get a flush or 2 out of them without jeopardising the rest
Im also interested because of the different rates cakes sometimes colonize. No reason to have a massive FC prepared to house 2-4 cakes initially.
Please if anyone has any experience with a small tupperware type bin(mini tote not kitchen tupperware) id be interested in how small it actually was, how much perlite was used, and if the yield seemed smaller than that of a full sized SGFC.
Any info regarding small FC's housing 2-4 cakes would be appreciated. If its possible if your have any recommendations on brands/dimensions of small bins please let me know

I'm new, but just use whatever size you want and make it the same way that RR does in his video. 4-5 inches of Perlite and 1/4 inch holes on all six sides 2 inches apart and sterilite or rubber-maid seem like good brands to me. Hope that helps Just type in the search mini sgfc pictures or something

If you put contaminated cakes in a SGFC, you're gonna get contam spores all over your grow area with the amount of airflow through a shotgun, especially when you fan. If you must do this, I'd keep it in a completely different part of the house or just fruit them outdoors

Very small fruiting chambers don't usually work well. The mycelium needs more space to dissipate the gasses, so just use a full size shotgun even if it's only a few cakes. You'll simply have to mist more if there's only one or two cakes inside. RR
