Mushroom kit in a poor mans pod over holiday

Hi everyone,
I am new and therefore a big hello.
I want to start with a question. I have a simple grow kit (the little boxes that come with a plastic bag). I know you guys are all pro and dislike those but I bought one to then take spore prints and I want to tripp again soon.
Anyway.. my problem is that I am flying every month away for a few days so I thought about a poor mans pod were I can simply put the mushi box inside. Does that work? Should I take the casing of and put the cake bare on the geolite?
Also for making this all sterile, do I have to boil the geolite? Is clinical alcohol good for disinfecting the pod box or just boil it too?
Thank you so much for your help!

If youre just getting started I'd go for the PF Tek method, that's probably gonna be your best bet and at least a shotgun terrarium.

+1 on the monotubs. I am harvesting my first yield from pftek method and wish i just put my time, money, and efforts into a monotub. Being its your first time I would expect you to be extra cautious of contams. Do you have a pressure cooker?

So just for your understanding.
I don't want to make cakes and don't grow from spores etc.
I got one of these ready made mushroom kits. Thats a plastic box with ry and mycelia already in it. you poor water on it, soak over night, put it in a bag and wait for growth.
But as I can't spray them nor give them a ventilation for about 4-5 days I wanted to build something that keeps humidity up and vents automatically.
So I found the poor man pod and already bought all the stuff for it. (I am running a bit out of time)
So now I was wondering if I should take the cake out of the plastic box and put it onto the geolite or place some aluminium foil underneath it or leaf it completely in its plastic container(with open lid)
And do I need to bake the geolite? Do I need to boil the terrarium/plastic box
Hope that makes sense.

yeah you cant crumble those kits to a monotub. could make a really mini dub tub perhaps.
I advice against the PMP. they suck. SGFCs are pretty automated, FAE over RH any time!
