Looks good! Is it french bread?

Yep! It is time to stir it all up and add more water and flour!

After is bubbles one more time, it is ready for baking or go into the fridge. Try to use it each week to keep it active. The more it is used the more it will give you

It hasn’t bubbled yet. Is that normal?

Probably will need yeast in it then may not have fully been ready

Bubbling is a term for the starter rising. It looked like the starter rose very high in the jar based on seeing the starter residue at the top of the jar. Check for the rise and the sour smell

A Start from my starter will not take a couple of weeks. I sent her dried starter

It is easy to misunderstand on the forums. Rehydrating is very similar to when you give someone a live culture. That is a bit faster but not the same as starting a new starter from scratch
