@topknotartisanbakery: If your loaves keep coming out flat, you are probably over proofing your dough. Just like how your starter rises and falls, so does your dough. The goal is to catch you dough right before it peaks, shape it and put it in the fridge. If you wait too long it will start to lose its structure and become more of a puddle which nobody wants. My tip is to buy a thermometer! This will help you maintain the right temperature during fermentation and repeat every time you make bread. Check my bio for discount codes!

If my dough is 72-75 degrees, how long will bulk fermentation take, roughly? Also my house is around 68 degrees…

Thank you, help me get a big loaf instead of my small loaves. The only thing is not knowing when it is at peak.

Or it could be a weak starter. But agree a thermometer is crucial.
