Well, that is about what I do! Those photos were all in HC-110 dilution B. Got some graduated cups at the drugstore (an apothecary here in europe). And I use a Jobo with a Paterson timer. Always at 20 °C for b&w (with a second thermometer in the water that says the same as the setting on the Jobo). With Ilford stop and rapid fixer (always those). All chemistry diluted with demineralised water and rinsed with it as well. Doesn't matter what film I use, FP4+, Foma 100, Adox CHS100II, Delta 100... they come out different each time.
I just can't get any consistency at all. Use the same film, camera, meter, lens, development next time and I get nicely sharp negatives with plenty of greys, a nice sky and all I like. The time after that it just comes out a clear sky without any detail and ink black everywhere else. Even if I develop films taken at a different time in the same drum.
