Then into the second solution which is stock solution diluted 2:90 with water. Agitate for 30sec followed by 1min unagitated, then agitate for 15sec every min until 10 total minutes have elapsed, the 1.5 min in the first solution is part of the total time. You can only do one or two sheets of film with this very diluted (he calls in compensation) developer. The idea is that the first solution develops zones 1 and 2 and the second dilution controls the highlights. Good luck.
