  My favorite Tri-X push developer is Acufine.  But I like using it diluted
1 to 1

My times are all at 70 degrees F

ISO 1000, 10 minutes

ISO 1600, 14 minutes

ISO 3200, 21 minutes

Agitation is based on the an initial four inversions and tapping Nikor style
tank on table and then 10 seconds every minute.  Make sure you have a very
brief pre soak of 30 seconds.  and don't wash this too long!  I once had the
emulsion slide off the film base at the 3200 setting from too long of a
wash.  I would suggest perma wash to shorten wash times.
