Athena Balance (1 Gallon) is a concentrated formula of potassium silicate designed to buffer irrigation water and stabilize the pH to an ideal level. This formula also contains silicon, which provides additional benefits such as promoting plant growth, enhancing stem structure, reducing stress, improving water usage, and optimizing nutrient utilization. Commercial growers, especially those using reverse osmosis (RO) water, have found better results by using Athena Balance as a buffer before adding other nutrients. It creates a more homogenous fertilizer solution and reduces the need for pH adjustment after mixing. This sediment-free formula is compatible with mechanical dosing systems like Dosatron, but it is not recommended for electronic dosing systems like Netafim.
