Sourdough Rye Recipe Help Please

Hey Guys, 

I have been trying to make some sourdough rye bread with a mix of rye and white flour and it doesn't seem to work. By looking at the picture what is wrong or what am I messing up? 

This is the recipe:

The first time I made it the bread was way less dense and wasn't as tall which was actually better. What do you think is happening here?

50 grams starter. and added another 40 grams to make 190 grams starter total, 

I made half the recipe this time, but I have previously made the 380 starter version and it looked the same.

bread I baked I used the one cup starter and every time after that the normal 100% hydration. 

Can I ask you a question about hydration, what is 166% hhydration starter?

if I want to make white sourdough bread can I use rye starter? Some recipes say white sourdough starter. Does that matter and how do I turn my rye starter into white starter?
