Sourdough starter

Hello- My sourdough starter (KA unbleached white bread flour and water 100% hydration) is now about 3 weeks old.  It rises very well after every feeding, at least double sometimes more, but my bubbles are not real big, there are a lot of them but they are fairly small. Is that ok?  I keep the starter on the counter at room temp which fluctuates between 65-71 F

I have not baked with it yet, but plan too soon.

starter the bubbles are often not very big.  Mine never are... but it makes fine bread.

Go ahead and bake with it, and remember to save some for refeeding.
