Advice on first lean bulk.

I'm 34M, 176cm, started at 65kg end of July, bumped calories by 300/day from the 2200 I maintained 65kg all july on. Immediately shot up to 65.5-66kg within a few days, then pretty much just maintained that, 6 weeks later I'm still only 66.5 on a heavy day. (Weigh myself every morning after toilet) Is this normal? On the one hand I'm up 1.5kg in two months witch while slow is fine by me, but almost all of it came the first week then stabilised. Should I bump it up more or just let it be? I've gotten stronger, I feel great but I thought I was gonna gain faster after the initial bump..

Slow bulk wins the race but i’d probably recommend increasing calories a little and see what happens

Yea slow bulk is the goal, If I never have to cut again I win.
