How many grams are in 1 cup of sourdough starter?

One US cup of sourdough starter weighs about 227 grams, one tablespoon about 14.19 grams, and one teaspoon about 4.73 grams. This page divides 150 grams by that cup weight.

Is 150g of sourdough starter the same as 150g of all-purpose flour?

No. 150g of sourdough starter is ⅔ cup, while 150g of all-purpose flour is 1¼ cups. Same weight on the scale, different volume in the cup, because the two have different densities.

How do I measure 150g of sourdough starter without a scale?

Weighing is more accurate, especially in baking, because it removes the variation in how the sourdough starter is packed into the cup. If you have no scale, use the cup figure above and keep your measuring method consistent across the whole recipe.
