Any specific reason why you're using FFP-76 with the Tri-X (and not something else)?
When I started developing my own B&W, after a long absence, it was 2018 and the old formula HC-110 was still available. I used that until it was gone then tried Ilfotec HC but didn’t like it and gave the bottle away. Next was the Rodinal experiment. I learned a lot about developing and developers, improving my technique along the way. I thought about trying D-76. The Film Photography Project offers their version in one liter packaging, which fits my needs better. I like it but wanted to try Xtol, just not five liters at a time. Adox XT-3 is is basically the same and it’s offered in one liter packaging. It’s a bit difficult to find a steady supply in the US so when Cinestill had it in stock, I bought a bunch. So, currently, XT-3 is my primary developer. I do have Rodinal on hand when I want something a little different.

Kentmere 400 pushes really well. I’ve pushed it to 1600 and it looked shockingly good! Using Df96 Monobath but I am sure regular developers would be even better.
