Hello Tom
That's my favorite Pyro dev
It looks like you forget to select the Solution A formula.

I use it a little differently I mix 1+1+1 + 24 And dev trix( 200iso) for 9 minute in it FP4 (80iso) for 7 minute. Tmax 100 ( 80 iso) 8 minutes.
It isn't a fine grain developer as PMK but great stain and so little base +fog.
Using less chemical create more secondary stained image that using the normal dilution.
Best

Thank you Christian! Sandman also spotted the fact that Solution A was missing. I just inserted Solution A into the recipe. D-7 was the first Pyro developer I tried and it is also still one of my favorites.
