Product Description

Athena Balance is a product designed to buffer irrigation water and stabilize it to an ideal pH. It is a sediment-free, simple formula of potassium silicate that is compatible with mechanical dosing systems. This product is not recommended for electronic dosing systems.

Key Features

Creates a more homogenous fertiliser solution
Reduces the need to pH adjust after mixing
Sediment-free formula
Compatible with mechanical dosing systems (Dosatron)

What It Does

It provides a supply of silicon for your grow granting an array of benefits from nutrient utilization to water usage. This is a potent product when buffering reverses osmosis water.

How It Works

Athena Balance provides silicon for better stem structure, stress reduction, and plant growth. It adds just enough to the water to create a more homogenous fertilizer solution and reduce the need to pH adjust after mixing.

How To Use Athena Balance

Shake well before use. Use clean measuring instruments, do not put anything into the bottle. Adjust pH to proper levels after mixing all fertilizers and additives. Do not combine in undiluted form. Store closed in original packaging at a temperature between 8° C and 30° C.

FAQs

What is Athena Balance?

Athena Balance is a pH stabilizer designed for hydroponic systems. It helps maintain the optimal pH range for nutrient uptake, typically between 5.5 and 6.5. This product works by buffering the nutrient solution, preventing rapid pH fluctuations that can stress plants. Regular use of Athena Balance can lead to healthier plants, improved nutrient absorption, and higher yields in your hydroponic garden.

Can Athena Balance be used with other nutrients?

Yes, Athena Balance is compatible with most hydroponic nutrients, including the entire Athena product line. It's designed to work alongside your regular feeding regimen. Always add Athena Balance after mixing your primary nutrients. If using with other pH adjusters, start with a smaller amount of Athena Balance and adjust as needed to avoid over-correction.

Is Athena Balance safe for all plants?

Athena Balance is safe for use with most hydroponic crops when used as directed. It's formulated to maintain an ideal pH range suitable for a wide variety of plants. However, some specialty crops may have unique pH requirements. Always research the specific needs of your plants and monitor their response when introducing any new product to your hydroponic system.

What makes Athena Balance different from other pH stabilizers?

Athena Balance stands out for its long-lasting buffering effect and ease of use. Unlike simple pH up/down products, it helps maintain stability over time, reducing the need for frequent adjustments. Its concentrated formula is economical, and it's specifically designed for hydroponic systems. Athena Balance also integrates seamlessly with other Athena products for optimal performance.

Can Athena Balance fix nutrient lockout?

While Athena Balance can help prevent nutrient lockout by maintaining a stable pH, it's not a direct solution for existing lockout issues. If you're experiencing nutrient lockout, first flush your system with pH-balanced water. Then, use Athena Balance in your fresh nutrient solution to maintain proper pH and prevent future lockout problems.

How long does Athena Balance last in solution?

The effectiveness of Athena Balance in solution can last up to two weeks, depending on your system and environmental factors. However, it's best to check pH regularly and reapply with each nutrient change or top-up. Factors like water quality, temperature, and plant uptake can affect how long the pH remains stable.

Can I use Athena Balance in soil growing?

While Athena Balance is primarily designed for hydroponic systems, it can be used in soil grows to help stabilize pH in nutrient solutions before application. However, its effects may be less pronounced in soil due to the natural buffering capacity of most growing media. For soil applications, always start with a lower dose and monitor plant response.

Does Athena Balance affect EC/PPM readings?

Athena Balance has a minimal impact on EC (Electrical Conductivity) or PPM (Parts Per Million) readings when used as directed. Its primary function is pH stabilization, not nutrient supplementation. However, always measure your nutrient solution's EC/PPM after adding any products to ensure it remains within the desired range for your specific crop and growth stage.
