Athena Balance - Potassium Silicate (0-0-2), 5 Gallon

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:

Recommended for use with batch tank mixing and Dosatron. Do not use with Netaflex (or other electronic dosers). Mix at 2-10 ml per gallon of water to increase pH as needed. The recommended pH is typically 5.5 to 6.5.

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
