Fermentation seems to have slowed

So my last and first wash I used 6kgs of turbo sugar in 21ltres water.
This my second one I have used 5kgs of Dextrose.
This wash seems to not be as active as the last one I did.

I left the lid just sitting for 14 odd hours then sealed it. But just before I sealed it I checked the action in the bucket and seems to be nothing else happening?
Have I done something wrong. The last wash was still bubbling black stuff at this stage. Now seems going clear and not much happening.

THANKS EXPERTS

Stick your ear up against the fermenter, if you can hear fizzing then it's still going. If your airlock isn't active it's likely due to a leak in the seal. Also, check gravity over a number of days, if it's decreasing each day then it's still going.

Fermenter is 30 degrees celcius after 24hours.
