Hi Janet,
I usually use HC-110 diluted 1+49 and use a developing time 1.5 X that
for dilution B. Why 1+49, because the amount is easy to figure for a
250 ml or 500 ml tank and it is not far from Kodak's dilution E (1+47).
If you can see the edge markings then the developer worked and if there
is no image then the film was either seriously underexposed or even
un-exposed.
Tri-X and HC-110 is a classic combination. If your lighting conditions
were a bit flat then you should extend development by 10 to 20% to pick
up the contrast. BTW, HC-110 produces results that are almost identical
to those for D-76. Kodak states this in their literature. Check out
http://www.covingtoninnovations.com/hc110/ which contains lots of
information about HC-110 and is a very interesting read.
When development times are very short, < 5 min, then the time to fill
and empty a tank becomes a consideration. Kodak recommends starting the
timer when you start to fill the tank.

I was wrong about the recommended time. The print on the box is tiny
- I thought it said to add 1 1/4 min (for Professional Tri-X) to the
recommended 3 3/4 min with HC110 dilution B. It says to add 1/4
min. That's short. 4 minutes only? Should I wait till I can get
another developer? If so, I'm in trouble. I was hoping to have
something ready to try and sell Saturday and I live hours from
anywhere that would sell chemicals.
