If you were to quantify faith into a physical shape and size the idea here it all the faith you would need is that much of what a mustard seed represents.

Look at one of your mustard seeds. God promises if you can expend that much faith and seek him out on his terms he will alleviate your doubts. More specifically a mountain of doubt.

But the verse about the mustard seed isn't (specifically) about faith.  It's about the growth of the Church, for which faith isn't necessary.
