Hello fellow Icmag growers.
I messed up big time on H3ad's 6/9 solution profile and posted wrong information.
I would like to apologize to H3ad for misrepresenting his 6/9 and to the community here for giving bad information. I eat my words and play the fool.
When I ran H3ad's solution profile I forgot to add in the potassium contained in GH Micro which made H3ad's K number low. I will post the correct solution profile for H3ad so people can see where the numbers come from.
H3ad 6/9
........GH Micro............................GH Bloom............Total
N.........97......................................0....................97
P..........0.......................................60...................60
K........16......................................91...................107
Ca......97.......................................0....................97
Mg.......0......................................41....................41
S.........0......................................27....................27
I think his solution profile numbers are solid. Some heavy feeders may experience some slight deficiencies and could use a stronger feed. For those that have heavy feeders you could try using 7 ml GH Micro, 1/2 ml GH Grow, and 9 ml GH Bloom.
....7 ml GH Grow......1/2 ml GH Grow.......9ml GH Bloom.....Total
N.......113......................3...........................0..................113
P.........0........................1...........................60..................61
K.......19........................8...........................91................118
Ca.....113......................0............................0.................113
Mg.....0..........................1..........................41..................42
S.......0..........................0...........................27.................27
For those interested in a pk boost. Drop down to 6 ml of GH Micro day 8 of 12/12 and increase the GH Bloom to 10 ml weeks 2-4 of flower.
Sorry for the confusion.

Hello Icmag growers. Recently a grower on here asked some questions about the H3ad 6/9 coco formula and adding Epsom salts. I looked into adding more GH Bloom to increase both Mg and S instead of adding Epsom. When I did this I found a glaring solution profile error regarding the K level in the H3ad 6/9 formula. The K level posted by H3ad is 13% higher then what is in the actual nutrient solution. I have been a supporter of the 6/9 for it's ease of use. Now knowing the K level in his formula is 13% less I can no longer back the 6/9.
Lets take a look.
6/9 As posted by H3ad.......................H3ad 6/9 with K corrected
N......................97...................................................97
P......................60....................................................60
K....................105 Incorrect.....................................91 Correct
Ca...................97.....................................................97
Mg..................41.....................................................41
S....................27.....................................................27
Looking at these numbers we can see how off the K level is as posted by H3ad. The solution profile numbers posted by H3ad will work in coco. However we can't hit those profile numbers using the 6/9. The good news is there is an easy fix. It will require buying the GH Grow to compensate for the low K number in the 6/9. GH grow is loaded with K and it will only require 1ml of grow per gallon.
Lets look at the reworked 6/9 into the new 6/1/9 so we can hit the K number posted by H3ad.

Comparing the 6/1/9 to the 6/9 we added some N and hit the K number H3ad was trying use by only adding 1ml of GH per gallon.

The 6/1/9 can be used throughout the whole growing cycle just like you would the 6/9. For those looking to add a booster in flower we can just add more GH bloom to increase the same nutrient levels a booster would do.
Veg till day 7 of 12/12 use the 6/1/9.
Flower weeks 2-4 use the 6/1/11. Using 11 ml of GH bloom will act as a booster and will give us this solution profile.
N 103
P 74
K 142
Ca 97
Mg 51
S 33
Flower weeks 5-6 go back to the 6/1/9
Last two weeks of flower reduce the 6/1/9 to 1/8 strength and feed as normal. By adding a weak nutrient solution the final two weeks will allow the free exchange of nutrients between the coir and plant roots.
Cheers and Happy Growing.
