I’m a newbie. I started my starter from scratch. 1:1 water and whole wheat flour. Days 2&3 1:2:2 and day 4 on 1:3:3. I fed daily for about 4 weeks and thought I had a good thing going. It had great bubbles and smelled strong but I have tried twice to bake and failed. The starter looks and smells great but has no body-almost foamy. It certainly wouldn’t pass a float test. I was looking for it to double in 4-6 hours. Didn’t happen so I put it on the oven with light on. It might double in 12-18 hours but still like foam. Amy suggestions?
