Popcorn slow?

LCS about 3cc into a qt of popcorn a week ago. Saw no growth til day 5 when one grain was covered. Woke up on day 8 to see myc had exploded, covering maybe 15% of the jar.
Is popcorn a slower colonizer?
What could have caused such sudden growth? Is it possible the grains were too wet and they dried a bit allowing growth?
I've got the other half of the LCS in an AI1 bag and the speed is superb, so this slow growth surprised me. First time using popcorn. Thanks yall

LC will pool at the bottom, it needs time to take off.
This is why SSLC is preferable - it coats grains vs pooling.
Popcorn is an inferior grain either way.

Most of the growth is nearer the top where I injected, didn't pool just took so long. I know popcorn isn't the greatest but I'm new and still experimenting.
What are SSLCs made with that makes em thicker?

I haven't used standard LC for a looong time, that may just be how long it takes to bounce off from the liquid (cant remember), maybe its a combination of that and the culture?
SSLCs have 0.2% added agar.
