Plus-X in HC-110, which dill and times ?

[alexz]

After my endeavor with Tri-X, getting the feel of the latter, I'm going to dig into Plus-X now. Soon will be finishig my first roll of Plus-X shot at 100 (I guess there is not much difference development-wise between 100 and 125).
What are the recommended starting points for Plus-X in HC-110 at 20 deg.C ? What dillution, times, agitation regime ?
Massive dev. chart suggests 3.5 and 5 minutes. The first one (3.5 min.) doesn't sounds fair somehow, but is 5 minutes indeed a true one ? What does your experience tell ?

With Tri-X I settled on dill. H for 13 minutes (@ ISO 400) or 10-11 minutes if exposed at 200. Dillution B also worked not bad at 6.5 minutes when exposed at nominal (400).

AlexZ, I use Plus-X @ 64 ISO which from my trials is too low. But I have never redone the work with Plus-X to determine what ISO I would prefer. I use HC-110(H), 68 degrees, 13 minutes, 30 seconds then 3 inversions per minute. This would probably produce a darker negative than you would like, but it is what I like. Here is an example using this formula. http://www.flickr.com/photos/carter3john/509661189/
