Developing issue

[Matthew27]

So my developed at home film came out blank. It’s not clear, has yellowish /grey layer and just matt grey other side. No marks seen on the edges.

I once used fixer instead of the developer by mistake and it came out clear, now it’s different.
I mix my own D-76, never had issues. The film is an old hp5.
Problems with the developer? Too old film? Underdeveloped?

Having something to look at would help 1,000,000,000%.

I just realised the developer turned very dark. I think the problem was with hydroquinone. It was stored for a long time and it is extremely hot. The rest of the chemicals were fresh. So the developer just didn’t work.
