and are you sure it's not just dried up starter?)

On day 5 it wasn't showing much activity. And the next day, I left it without feeding for more than 24 hours. And when I remembered to check on it it had white mould on the residue on the sides of the bowl.

It's much like a brand new starter - you will pass through some truly foul-smelling and looking days, but shortly, you have a beautiful ecology of great yeasts and lactic acid bacterias.

I hope to see it turn out this way :) Did you wipe the walls of the jar of your starter?? Is that important???
