Out of it all I like Advanced Nutrients Big Bud Dry, Botanicare Hydroplex, Green Planet Dense, and Cutting Edge Solutions Uncle John's Blend. Really though, big blooms start with big roots. So some of my best flowering enhancers are things like General Hydroponics Rapid Start, Kelp Supplements, using fabric planters, coconut coir with trichoderma, and microbial inoculates like Xtreme Gardening Mykos and Azos. Stuff that gets cut out well before the 12/12 flip.
The rest of the products on my tried list are all kind of "enh..." and often not much more than elements and hormones. One of which I have plenty of in my base and the other I could do without.
I would really like to try Green Planet Massive, GH FloraSeries, H&G Coco, Advanced Connoisseur, and Banana Manna sometime in the future. Good reviews on these things from people I talk to.
My next grow is pure simplicity. Just CNS17 Versus ProBlend. No supplements. No additives. I have a thread here (The Easy Streets) and I'm expecting my beans to arrive any day now.
What I do for a living kind of behooves and rewards my behavior. Don't judge me and my bottles!

Holy shit lol thats def a list...a couple of mine are in h&g coco couple in canna I dont really see a difference yet atleast. This is my first coco run so id def like to keep it simple. Did u happen to see my earlier post from today about the hairs shooting already? Never had it happen to me in 18/6
Happens to me every grow. They are called "pre-flowers" and typically show in the 5th-6th week of veg or around the 12th to 14th internodes. Totally normal, nothing to worry about. It is a good indication that they are mature enough now to step right into flowering with minimal transition time.
As a seed grower I depend on pre-flowers to sex my plants before flowering.

First, that list is intense snow crash, got a good laugh. Been there and dun that. CNS worked good for me but I didn't like the way it stayed cloudy solidified in my res's.
Gonjalove, She looks happy I haven't looked thru the whole thread but looks like u got her going well. For me, Ive tried a lot of nutes bloom boosters and additives, while some might certainly help, I can difinitively tell u my med never has tasted better or yielded more with any extra thing besides my base nutes.

You can add hydroplex on day 1 of 12/12...

coco is harder and less forgiving then soil is . if you do kill them off.. next try to do most your shit in soil.. and a few in coco.. so if the cocos don't make it .. you still are good to go...
I did the same thing my first coco run... lol.. the coco doesn't have any nutes stored in it.. so what you feed is what they get.. supposed to be more forgiving then hydro. but not as forgiving as soil..
good luck.. check your run off.. tds and ph

While I always appreciate any help/comments I can get...we are obviously way beyond that phase lol
Now, I've never done this... So don't quote me on it if things take a turn...
If you're running 6/9 your basic profile is something like:
100N - 55P - 100K - 100Ca - 45Mg
Which is pretty dialed as it is. The Calcium and Nitrogen do seem a touch tall for my liking, and the Potassium a touch low, but I think we all know this is a tried and true formula.
So, for every 1ml/gallon of Hydroplex you're going to alter those numbers by:
0N - 12P - 14K
That's about 20% more on the Phosphorus and about 15% more Potassium, with just 1ml. Add in 2.5ml and we're talking about 50% more P... that's a pretty good shift from the base, and upwards of 85ppm of Phosphorus. Not toxic (actually, I've had my best results with the Phophorus PPMs in that range), but it certainly is on the higher end of the acceptable range.
I think that 2ml/gallon is enough for most strains. Starting around 1ml/gallon is good though and you can dose it a little stronger for maybe 1 or 2 feedings, but you'll want to be careful about buildup concerns.
Typically, I depend on Hydroplex for N-dominant programs, like CANNA Coco's 5-4-3. Systems that are already using a PK Bloom base don't see the same kind of benefits from adding a PK Boost as the systems I've been applying this product too. In many ways, adding 1-2ml of Hydroplex is the same as adding 2-4ml of FloraBloom. Sure, there's probably some differences in the "intangibles" these products might contain. But I don't think that the nuances gained from a bottle are necessary until all the other environmental aspects are just perfectly dialed.
If you've never run 6/9 with that strain before then I'd recommend sticking to the program and seeing what it offers. If you haven't run 6/9, or the strain, and I've never run 6/9 or supplemented it... We're just totally shooting in the dark. Take the time and get a baseline for that nutrient program you can then pivot on.
