The mantra
ॐ ब्रां ब्रीं ब्रौं सः बुधाय नमः
oṃ brāṃ brīṃ brauṃ saḥ budhāya namaḥ
In English letters
Om Braam Breem Braum Sah Budhaya Namaha
How to say it
Braam as in "bra" with an m. Breem rhymes with "bream". Braum is br plus "ow" plus m. Budhaya is boo-dha-ya, and the dh carries breath, closer to "budh-huh" than to a plain d.
Wednesday, mid-morning, facing north. One mala of 108. A full anushthana runs to 9,000 repetitions, usually completed inside forty days.
All nine side by side on the navagraha beej mantras in English page. Which one your own chart is asking for depends on which graha is under pressure in it, so generate a free kundali and ask Acharya on the chart itself. Free, and in your own language.
