Having a test print to check that the grain is focused made a major difference in how sharp this print looks now. Added an extra bit of time, and got my background exposed. I figured out that the vario-contrast setting was not activated, so now I can start bumping up the contrast.
Sadly I did not fix it for long enough. I need a darkroom timer... My setup is far from ideal, but I'm making it work.l in my 4x4 tent. Hah.
