looking for KSSS pointers

I have grown many strains working with spawn bags that are injected, colonized, and cased. Each strain behaves just a little different from the rest in its own way. I have recently added K.S.S.S. to my collection. I was interested in its reputation as a fast grower. I started an lc at the same time as 2 other strains. All ms. The jars of ksss grew way faster than the rest and the water was not cloudy. I started one batch a month ago, and 3 weeks ago by itself. Then ksss and creeper 2weeks ago. Im already casing the creepers and the first ksss are still only like 70 to 80% ready to go. There is no visible contamination, they smell healthy. No puffy bags. I use a 1part bird seed,3 parts verm, 6 parts hpoo. The groth looks healthy, but going really slow. Also the growth seems to stay limited to just the birdseed for a couple weeks before the manure is colonized. Temps stay from 83 to 89.
My question has anyone else ran into this ?? Does this strain need more seed in the substrate mix ?? Im also thinking about separating them and turning up the heat and see if that helps. I have had success with many strains but this strain does not seem to like me. Any suggestions on the preferences of ksss ??

I'm thinking it may be your temps. I'd drop them down by about 10F or so, target colonizing and fruiting temps are 65F-75F ime.
Colonizing myc tends to be warmer than ambient temps, so going up to 89F means the myc was well over 90F, which is bad. Both that competing nasties thrive in temps over 85F, and myc starts to go through cellular death at higher temperatures.
I'd just lower the temps a bit, nothing else is off from what I can tell. Good luck to you bro

I will try to lower temps first. Even if its not the answer it certainly wint hurt them. All other strains are having no issue at all, and i have never seen myc on just the seeds.
