Reg. Stiff Starters
I had converted my 100% hydration wheat Starter in to a 50% hydration Starter.
When I feed after 12 hours it is nice and , well, kind of dry.
When I feed it after 24 hours it is really sticky and difficult to remove from the container and it sticks to my fingers, the jar ...
Right now I keep it on the counter as I do bake a lot with it.
Is that correct like this?

Sounds about right. I keep mine at 66% which I find a little easier to handle. I sometimes will use some cooking spray inside the starter container to make it easier to handle.
Oh good, I am happy now, I thought I was doing something wrong. phewww
