pineapple juice method, so i can't really tell you what to expect using that method. I just made my rye starter using rye flour and bottled (spring) water, worked first time.
When did you start your culture, it might just need a little more time. When i made my starter it took about ten days to get it active enough for my first loaf.
of the culture to be? Temp makes a big difference. First day get it up in the high 80's °F and drop back down to the middle to upper middle 70's for the rest of the time. 72°F or below takes twice as long... or 10 to 14 days. Warmer temps you're looking about a week and very warm tropicals you might have a starter on day 4 and have to slow it down with ice water in the feedings. :)
You don't say where you are in the process, but you shouldn't see any bubbling before day 3. And maybe not until day 4 or 5. Pineapple juice prevents certain gas-producing bacteria from interfering, so it will look quiet until yeast activate. It's actually a good sign. It means the pineapple juice is working.

Will try waiting a few days. Thank you
