Athena Balance – Potassium Silicate (0-0-2)
Athena Balance is a simple formula of potassium silicate specifically concentrated to buffer irrigation water and stabilize to ideal pH. Silicon additionally benefits plant growth, stem structure, stress reduction, water usage (osmoregulation), and nutrient utilization.
Commercial growers find better results, particularly with reverse osmosis (RO) water, when buffering first with Athena Balance. Pure RO water has 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).
Application Rate:
Mix at 1 – 4 mL per gallon of water through vegetative and flowering stages as needed.
Best Practices:
- Agitate before mixing and dosing to ensure homogeneous solution
- Compatible with other fertilizers and crop protection products
- Add first to reverse osmosis (RO) water to help buffer for better solution stability
