Athena Stack is a natural plant nutrient made from premium kelp extract. This product supports plant growth, transition, and flowering through readily available nutrients, and provides critical building blocks to optimize conditions for better tolerance against abiotic stress. When used as a foliar or root drench, Athena Stack helps correct minor potassium deficiencies.

Instructions for use:

May be used as a foliar spray or root drench, one application weekly. Safe for use in irrigation systems. Athena Stack contains organic ingredients and may separate in storage. Shake well before use.

Application Timing:

Apply Athena Stack from the final week of vegetative growth to week 3 of flowering, or once plants stop growing vertically.

Foliar Spray:

Mix 7 mL of Athena Stack per gallon of water and spray thoroughly once weekly. Spray with lights off and allow to dry before turning on. Do not spray past week 3 flower.

Root Drench:
Mix 1-2 mL of Athena Stack per gallon of water in a weekly mix. May be mixed with regular fertilizer recipe. Add last to reservoir.

Transplant Use:

Mix 2 mL of Athena Stack per gallon of water and bare root soak for 30-60 seconds prior to transplanting or water in solution after transplanting.

Seed Treatment:
Mix 4 mL of Athena Stack per gallon of water and soak seed for 1-2 minutes before planting.

 Athena Balance is a simple formula specifically concentrated to buffer irrigation water and stabilize to ideal pH.

Commercial growers find better results, particularly with reverse osmosis (RO) water, when buffering first with Athena Balance. Pure RO water has an unstable chemical structure that can trap other nutrients when added without a buffer. Athena Balance adds just enough to the water to create a more homogenous fertilizer solution and reduce the need to pH-adjust after mixing. 

Formula is sediment-free and is compatible with mechanical dosing systems (Dosatron). Athena Balance is not recommended for electronic dosing systems (Netafim).

Athena Cleanse is made from Hypochlorous acid. This mild acid is derived from salt and a proprietary electrochemical treatment process. The result is a unique, plant-safe chemical with powerful oxidative properties to prevent mineral buildup, increase Oxidation-Reduction Potential (ORP), and descale irrigation systems.   

Key Features

• Non-toxic and non-nutritive – safe to use on plants in any stage of growth
• Works to descale irrigation systems and decompose residual organic matter
• Effective as a final flush to remove mineral buildup (scale) in growing media and irrigation lines
• Very low TDS – does not throw off mineral balance
• Keeps irrigation system cleaner and running efficiently for longer

How To Use 

System Maintenance:
Irrigation systems that are regularly maintained with Athena Cleanse treatment will last longer, and run more optimally throughout. This is because Athena Cleanse helps break down scale, mineral buildup, and other inanimate organic matter that has been lodged in the system.   

Regular Use:
Use a dilute mixture of 2-5 mL of Athena Cleanse per gallon of water for regular maintenance.  

Severe Conditions:
Increase rate to 5-10 mL per gallon of water for combating severe reservoir and growing media conditions.   

RDWC and Other Recirculating Hydroponics Systems:
Any recirculating or deep water culture (DWC) irrigation system should use Athena Cleanse to remove mineral residue and reduce scale.   

Using Athena Cleanse in a recirculating or DWC system helps break down materials with lower solubility ratings, such as mineral complexes that are no longer available to plants. Mineral buildup and lockout is a major cause of deficiencies and plant health problems – help solve buildup issues with Athena Cleanse. 

Media/System Flush Mix:
Use Athena Cleanse at a rate of 5-10 mL per gallon of water during the final flush stage to help reduce residual mineral buildup in the growing media.   

This procedure may be used at any time during vegetative or flowering phases if the growing media or irrigation system develops unwanted buildup.  

Surface Cleaning: 

Spraying cultivation surfaces, work areas and irrigation equipment with a dilute solution of Athena Cleanse (375 mL per gallon) helps maintain a clean environment without toxic and dangerous chemicals. Maintain operational excellence and extend equipment life, such as irrigation system filters, by running treated water through the system regularly.
