   Just to confirm…. 2.5mL beetroot? Not more I would love to try this but that seems like a tiny tiny amount… not L?

     YVonne, the papers I was developing were tiny, (as a test) so 2,5 ml was enough… sure you can double the measures 🙂

   where does beetroot come from? smash a bunch of beets with a truck? a blender seems more likely, I’ll try this soon .Robin

     Robin, I used beetroot juice from organic shop, sure you can use a blender, though… Pls, do show us your results afterwards…

       Some told me that beets and carrots are related, so carrot juice might work too! so many vegetables so little time…

   Hey guys, thinking about doing this cause I have a black and white darkroom at uni but heaps and heaps of surplus c41 fiilm which i can’t afford to have developed. I’m fine with the photos turning out black and white with this developer, but I have a few questions about how it all works.

   Do you stop and fix using the regular chemicals or can you make those at home yourself too?
   Can you develop it to turn out with colour?
   Can you then develop the same way or a using normal checmicals?
   would it be okay to use in a shared university facility or am I better off just doing it at home?
