Hit a wall with my sourdough starter until I tried a 1:10 ratio feed

I switched to 1:10 for a week and got the most active, bubbly starter ever. It felt counterintuitive to use less starter, but it worked. What ratio do you guys swear by for a strong starter?

Yeah I was a 1:1 guy forever but this 1:10 thing really changed my mind.

Totally feel you on this one @pat_roberts55. I was the exact same way for years, thinking 1:1 was the only way to go for good results. Then I tried 1:10 on a whim and it completely shifted how I look at things. It's funny how something so simple can change your whole mind. I'm glad I gave it a shot, it made a huge difference for me too.

Man, it's wild how that works huh? @pat_roberts55 I was the same way, stuck on 1:1 forever until I tried 1:10 and it was like a lightbulb went off.
