Smallest Size SGFC for PF TEK?

Hey everyone,
Super long time lurker.. Seriously I'm talking years, but due to Covid I have an abundance of free time to explore this hobby in much more depth. I've decided that while growing in this passion that I would like to try and create some beginner grow kits for some friends and family to possibly get them into the hobby or at least share something I find enjoyable. What I am doing is basically creating little sterilized PF tek jars using a woodlover style mix using the "Edible Cakes From Hell" tek by CH HELL.
With this I'll include the premade cake so that all they will need to do is inoculate with their choice of spore (probably some sort of Oyster liquid culture), watch the mycelium grow, and then birth the cakes in a SGFC with perlite. Obviously there won't be huge yields, but I'm hoping they get enough to make a little side with their dinner dish one night.
To make the kit small/cheaper I'd like to have the SGFC be as small as possible. One that would suffice for just one to three cakes HOWEVER from reading through the threads it seems that it needs to be a bigger container to help retain humidity and FAE properly. Is this true? Does it HAVE to be a 66 quart tub or can I do something smaller?
Thanks so much for your help!!

Hmm that might actually work.. Do you know what he means or how he gets to "overhydrated coir"? I've never heard of that.

These are what I currently use and it is what it says. Overhydrated coir. Literally set and forget, very little misting needed if any. I over misted and got these results from my first cake. Since then I’ve stopped misting

Over hydrated coir just means to rehydrate coconut coir fiber with excess water
I hate had more luck just grating cakes into shoeboxes, casing and top fruiting with a Ziploc bag ect but if you want to fruit them as a cake the humidity chamber is a good option
