Athena Nutrients Australia

Athena Nutrients Australia provides a comprehensive line of premium hydroponic nutrients for all stages of plant growth. Our plant-specific formulations contain highly concentrated ingredients and advanced chelating technologies to enhance plant performance. We offer a full range of base nutrient solutions to match your growing needs. 

Our Athena Blended Line includes nutrient blends for growing, blooming and fading cycles. These all-in-one blends contain essential macro and micronutrients to promote vigorous vegetative growth and abundant flowering. Our Athena Pro Line features three-part nutrient systems for superior control and customization. The Pro Grow and Pro Bloom formulas contain concentrated nutrients designed for either the vegetative or flowering stages of growth. The Pro Core blend provides a balanced base to mix with Pro Grow or Pro Bloom. 

For integrated pest management, we offer Athena IPM for added foliar nutrition and disease prevention. Our Athena Calmag and Athena PK solutions provide supplemental calcium, magnesium (calmag), phosphorus or potassium when needed. Our Athena Stack formula is an advanced growth additive that improves plant performance and yield. And Athena Balance helps stabilize nutrient levels during water changes and feedings. 

With Athena Nutrients Australia's extensive range of hydroponic nutrients, you're sure to find the precise formulations you need to maximize the potential of your plants and optimize harvest results.

A: Absolutely! Athena Nutrient caters to growers of all scales. Whether you're a hobbyist or a commercial cultivator, our products are tailored to meet your unique needs.

Q: What is Fade and how do I use it?

A:  Fade is a nitrogen-free finishing flush designed to provide your plants with essential immobile nutrients during the crucial ripening stage, preventing nutrient deficiencies and starvation. Our extensive testing has demonstrated that incorporating Fade alongside Pro Bloom in the final two weeks of the flowering phase can significantly enhance total cannabinoid and terpene production while minimizing the risk of deficiencies and bud rot.

Traditional flushing methods typically involve using only RO (Reverse Osmosis) water for one or more weeks, gradually reducing the use of a complete nutrient solution, or a combination of these approaches. Some growers have experimented with reducing nitrogen levels during the flush by adjusting the Core to Bloom ratio towards the end of the flowering period. This nitrogen reduction has been found to boost cannabinoid and terpene production. However, excessive reduction of Core not only reduces nitrogen but also eliminates other immobile nutrients such as calcium.

These traditional methods can lead to the depletion of essential crop nutrients, including calcium and micronutrients, ultimately impacting overall yield and potentially causing bud rot. To address the limitations of these approaches, we developed Fade.

Using Athena Fade is straightforward. Simply substitute Core with Fade during the final two weeks of the flowering cycle, maintaining the same dosage rate as the Core concentrate (mixed at 2 pounds per gallon). It's essential to recalibrate the pH since Fade is slightly more acidic than Core.

Experience the benefits of Fade and maximize your plant's potential during the critical ripening stage.

Q: Why are my pH and EC fluctuating?

A: The pH level of your fertilizer may vary due to various factors, including the type of fertilizer you use, the quality of the water you mix it with, and the environmental temperature.

One potential reason for pH fluctuations is the chemical composition of the fertilizer. Some fertilizers may possess acidic or alkaline properties that can influence the pH of the solution when combined with water. Furthermore, certain fertilizers may react with water to produce acidic or alkaline compounds, which can also impact the pH.

Another factor contributing to pH variations is the quality of the water you employ. If the water has a high or low pH, it can alter the overall pH of the fertilizer mixture. Water with a high pH (alkaline) can counteract acidic components in the fertilizer, whereas water with a low pH (acidic) can make the solution more acidic.

Temperature can also be a contributing factor in pH fluctuations. Excessive heat or cold in the fertilizer mixture can lead to pH changes due to chemical reactions or alterations in solubility.

To prevent pH fluctuations, it's essential to regularly monitor the pH of your fertilizer mixture and make necessary adjustments. You can utilize pH testing strips or a pH meter, such as the Bluelab Ph pen, to assess the pH and make corrections by adding acidic or alkaline substances like vinegar or baking soda, respectively. Additionally, using high-quality water and maintaining a consistent mixing temperature are crucial to minimize pH fluctuations.

Q: Why is the Athena Blended Line recommended at around 2.6 EC while the Athena Pro Line can go up to 3.0 EC and above?

A: These are two different styles of nutrient lines:

  • Athena Pro Line: This is a powdered nutrient line that consists of raw nutrient elements mined from Earth deposits. A spray chelate is applied to assist with plant uptake.
  • Athena Blended Line: This line undergoes a much more refined chelation process. The nutrients are blended through a rigorous process that micronizes them, making them finer for easier penetration into the plants.

Due to this difference in processing, the input EC recommendations are lower for the Athena Blended Line (around 2.6 EC). The Athena Pro Line needs to be stacked up to higher amounts in the substrate to work to its full potential, which is why it can go up to 3.0 EC and above.

Q: Is there a problem with having a 3.0 EC with the Athena Blended Line?

A: The Blended Line's refined chelation process allows it to be effective at a lower EC level (around 2.6 EC). Using a higher EC (such as 3.0 EC) with the Blended Line might not provide additional benefits and could potentially lead to nutrient imbalances or plant stress. It is best to follow the recommended EC levels for each product to ensure optimal plant health and growth.
