I never time toners at all, for sepia I bleach until it reaches the depth I want, for instance, I might just bleach back just the highlights then tone until completed, If split toning, say for instance sepia then blue, I would bleach back the highlights, sepia tone, then in the blue toner until I reached the effect I wanted,When I started toning I would time every process, but I very soon found that diluting the bleach a lot more than suggested, I use 50ml in 1 liter of water, same for the toner, plus 40ml of the control to 1 liter, and for blue I again halve the normal dilution to give me more control, but I leave the timer alone and do it all by eye
