A German cow photographer friend on Threads, Tanya_Kriel, asked how anyone could bear to develop in D-76 1:3 for 19 minutes.

I swear I had a plan. On a green 3x5 card. Can’t find it anywhere.

It’s bad I can’t remember a key number.

But even worse, I can’t find a reference to support that plan.

Everyone knows “Kodak Agitation”, and a key part of that is to agitate for five seconds on thirty second intervals. I have that in muscle memory.

But my plan has always been after a certain time, I switch over to five seconds on one minute intervals.

I want to say it’s fifteen minutes but it might be thirteen.

Does anyone know a reference for the plan, or should I just call it fifteen minutes?

I found vintage green 3x5 cards with notes. This is the set where I tested TMY2 at EI 64 -- a fabulous speed to shoot it at by the way. But the card I’m looking for isn’t in here.
