Aaron,

It is hard to tell what you are doing. Now you say, you are reducing -
what, how much, at what temperature, how long, are there any bubbles,
even tiny one's and if so, for how long?

I tried to explain, what the mechanisms are with constant feedings -
did that make any sense? If you reduce now, why are you doing it? Are
you following any recipe in what you are doing, do you have a plan?

If you haven't, go the http://samartha.net/SD/MakeStarter01.html and
see if you can take this as a reference. Is the temperature you have the
same or lower. If it is lower, then your process could be slower. Are
the feeding amount ratios the same or higher? If they are higher (more
additions), you could be slower.

Well, I reduced and fed again this morning, and I just checked it
(about 12 hours after feeding) and there is no activity. No bubbles,
just bad smells. Any thoughts? Should I feed every 12 hours or 24
hours? Should I feed more often or less often when I see activity?

I'd stick to consistent 12 hours with constant feedings with not too
cold a temperature and see what happens in a time frame of 3 - 4 days.


Also, this morning, there was some white stuff in the mix, which I
removed. Any ideas as to what this was?

No idea - if it comes again and it bothers you, describe it a bit more
than "white stuff".

Good luck,

Samartha
