How do you get a more open crumb

As title suggests I’m after a more open crumb and better honeycomb structure. Does anyone have any tips?

Is it mostly to do with proofing ?

Help?

2nd time making croissants, just curious on how I got these blisters and how to avoid it next time? I followed a recipe and for some reason the croissants had a slightly salty aftertaste??? Don’t think it was the recipe, could it have been a mixing issue?

Help !

Can someone please help provide pointers and tips why my croissant turned out like this.
It is a little bit flat, does not really spring and no honeycomb.

For flour I am using:

75% KA All purpose flour (11.7%)
25% KA Bread flour (12.7%)

Proofed for almost 4.5 hours
Baked at 385F for 5 minutes then 345F for 13 minutes
