First, if ur giving them a solid base nute they don't need anything extra, its something else causing them not to be able to get the nute they are deficient in.
Talking on silica, I believe its K based, so those yellow looking leaves with the rusty brown necrosis spots remind me of that, possibly the silica K prob showing?

Yep second look at those pics I think too much K thru silica. just my humble opinion
Some thing is unbalanced in da coco. You just giving them 6/9, little silica, dripclean and 2ml of KB? Are you giving them full strength 6/9? What ph 5.8?

not burn, imbalance, causing deficiency.

Not saying it doesn't do shit. U just don't need it and it can cause probs as well as help. For me it was a prob, but I have success with out it.
I would run your reg nutes only get a lot of runoff 75% or more one time and foliar with some Epsom salts and surfactant or dish soap. If it doesn't help it can't hurt. Those bad leafs are goners.
Leaf tips are looking a little scorched, the leaf edges are curling up, and you have some brown, necrotic spotting.
First stop for me, and this is fucking wild because we're talking coco and 6/9, it's the pH of the solution. If you're missing the pH mark then you're missing it low and the media is too acidic which is keeping K, Ca, and Mg from being as available as they need to be. I suggest calibrating your meter just to be sure. How much pH down do you usually add to your reservoir when dealing with the Silica?
What I don't see is important. There's no interveinal chlorisis (yellowing between the margins) typically a buildup induced Magnesium deficiency. The elements that I think are in short supply right now are Calcium and Potassium. Since Magesium will compete for uptake with these elements, and there isn't a Magnesium deficiency, if you have buildup to contend with then I think you might have gone a little too far with the Mg. I know that Liquid KoolBloom has a little Mg in it but there's nothing up front that screams mis-fed.
What's your water quality?

Hard to tell what's going on in your pics, but it looks like you also have some heat issues or light stress
