I have heard some folks say that you cannot tell visually if a yeast starter has grown significantly. I have grown maybe 50 starters in the last year and every single one looks like this once I transfer into mason jars for cold crashing. Left is recently completed batch, right is settled batch from a few weeks back. Before the starter, the wort is fairly dark, like the settled jar but not as clear. My starters always end up milky like the left, or super chunky like egg drop soup if a flocculant strain. I would contend that most starters that have no visual change in appearance have probably not grown considerably.
