If one did want to exaggerate silver clumping or reticulation, how would one
go about it? Nominal temperature developer to hot stop bath (acidic) or a
hot water stop set up?

I came across a beautifully reticulated 35mm negative (on HP5 +) a student
had left in the darkroom at school and I want to re-create the effect.
