As of 4/30, my starter is 5 days old. On the second day, I fed it 100g of whole wheat flour and it quadrupled the size in 12 hours. On the second feeding of that day, I fed it with 50g of starter and fed it 50g of bread flour and 50g of whole wheat flour and 100g of water. So basically a 1:2:2 ratio. Ever since I've fed it half bread flour and half wheat, after 12 hours, it only grew about 5mm above the rubber band. I'm reading all these posts and some are telling me to feed it more or feed it less.
Should I be feeding it at a different ratio?
Should I feed it twice a day even when it doesn't grow too much?
Should I let it grow for a full 24 hours and then feed it?
Should I stick to 100g of whole wheat instead of 50g of bread flour ad 50g of whole wheat?
What is the temperature where you keep it?
Around 70 degrees farenheit
Try to find a bit warmer spot. At least the first week or so.
That helps it starting.
1st attempt at this
Started with 1/2 cup all purpose flour and water it sat for 2days now feeding twice a day. I have hooch on top daily? I am discarding 1/2 cup daily feeding adding 1/2 cup flour & water (considering weighing). I am on day 7, no growth a few bubbles nothing but hooch between feedings @12 hours.
?.?.
I prefer weighting.
Also feeding some whole wheat preferably rye wil help.
