Okay, I understand, but if one is by weight and the other is by measuring cup standards, it might be a good idea to say that. It is working great and I did use rye flour and whole wheat flour to start this mixture. It is already showing many, many bubbles and the part I took out and put into a measuring cup was rising so fast, I decided to throw it away before it went over the measuring cup. Your directions said to feed it with all-purpose flour, but I have all the flours so maybe I will feed it some with one of those. I have never made a starter this way--without sugar or yeast--but it looks like it will be fine. Thank you so much for your answer/explanation.
