Burma Grow Taking Forever!

Hi there, I've been growing a batch of Burma that was started in the last week of April. Being two months deep and no pins or signs of new growth, I'm wondering if this is a failure. The jars seem to be fully colonized, except for two. Did I miss the time to birth, as far as I've seen theres no contamination. Any idea of what happened?

without any details no one can give an answer.
I have burma cakes that colinised in 2 1/2 weeks then started pinning just 2 or 3 days into consolidation and have been through a flush after 4 weeks.

I'll try to have pics up tomorrow. Pretty much this is how the growth went.
Slight growth after a week, minor spots. Two weeks in there was alot more mycelium, however it seemed to make the verm and rice condense. Around three weeks the jars were at 75% colonization. At a month things started slowing down, it also got alot colder that week, I rely on how warm it is outside and not using the AC to get my room warm. At one month two weeks the jars seemed 100% colonized. After that nothing really happened and they've sat dormant. Recently it seems like moisture developed on two of the cakes.

You are supposed to birth the jars after a week of 100% colonization...

First things to to is make sure your not covering your jars with foil. Your jars need to breath, that will certainly slow things down. Gas exchange is important.
If your temps are high that wills low thigns down. No higher than 80F.
Once they are fully colinsied youw wait 1 week then remove them from the jar, dunk then roll and put into your terrarium. You dont wait for pins.

Still not the details i was looking for. Like
Pf tek? temps? Gas exchange? etc etc

PF tek yes. I used tall 1/2pint jars. Temp has been variating between 75 and 90f. Only gas exchanges are the holes used to inoculate. I've kept them in a Rubbermaid container. It seemed like some of the vermiculite was seeping through the mycelium. Is there any hope of birthing, or shouldmy next I just restart. I have a syringe of B+ for my next set. I also plan on using a rye tek for that.

90F is getting too hot you want it no higher than 80F. During colinisation its normal for the substrate to start pulling away from the jars, sometimes dry verm drops down the space.
Once its fully white, its colinised, wait a week and birth
