Athena Pro Mix Kit gives you the precision and efficiency of Athena Pro Line without having to weigh dry fertiliser every time you mix a reservoir.
The kit contains Pro Core, Pro Grow and Pro Bloom in pre-measured 2lb pouches, together with a dedicated 1 US gallon mixing jug for each product.
Simply empty each pouch into its matching jug, top up with water and mix thoroughly to create three reusable liquid stock concentrates. You can then measure those concentrates accurately into your reservoir according to your required EC.
This makes Pro Line faster and more repeatable to work with, while reducing the variation that can come from weighing small quantities of dry fertiliser for every feed.
During vegetative growth, use Pro Grow + Pro Core. During flowering, switch to Pro Bloom + Pro Core. It's a simple two-part-per-stage nutrient programme built around clean, fully soluble mineral nutrition.
Athena Pro Line is designed around precision feeding, but repeatedly weighing small amounts of dry powder can introduce unnecessary variation from one reservoir to the next.
The Pro Mix Kit solves that problem by turning each fertiliser into a standardised liquid concentrate.
Once the concentrates are prepared, you simply measure the required amount of Grow or Bloom alongside Core into your reservoir. That makes everyday nutrient preparation quicker, easier to repeat and better suited to growers working with target EC values.
It's particularly useful if you want the efficiency of Athena's powdered Pro Line but prefer the convenience of measuring liquids when mixing your feed.
Pro Core forms the nutritional foundation of the programme and is used across the main growth cycle. It provides readily available nitrogen and calcium alongside essential micronutrients.
Core is paired with Pro Grow during vegetative growth and Pro Bloom during flowering.
Pro Grow is the vegetative component of the system. It provides the nutrition required to support healthy roots, foliage and structural plant development.
Use Pro Grow alongside Pro Core during the vegetative stage.
Pro Bloom replaces Grow when flowering begins. It provides increased phosphorus and potassium alongside essential elements required through bloom.
Use Pro Bloom alongside Pro Core throughout the flowering programme.
Each supplied 2lb pouch is designed to make one matching 1-gallon stock concentrate.
Important: these are concentrated stock solutions. Never feed the concentrate directly to plants. Always dilute the appropriate concentrates into your reservoir first.
Do not combine Core, Grow and Bloom together while they are still in concentrated form. Add each concentrate separately to water when making your final nutrient solution.
Once your stock concentrates are prepared, the programme is simple:
Fill your reservoir with water, add the required amount of each concentrate separately, mix thoroughly and then check the final EC and pH.
Athena recommends dosing Pro Line according to target EC rather than using one fixed concentration throughout every grow.
The following rates are for the 2lb per 1 US gallon concentrates produced by this kit.
| Target EC | Pro Grow / Bloom | Pro Core |
|---|---|---|
| 1.0 | 10ml per US gal | 6ml per US gal |
| 1.5 | 15ml per US gal | 9ml per US gal |
| 2.0 | 20ml per US gal | 12ml per US gal |
| 2.5 | 26ml per US gal | 16ml per US gal |
| 3.0 | 32ml per US gal | 19ml per US gal |
| 3.5 | 38ml per US gal | 23ml per US gal |
| 4.0 | 44ml per US gal | 27ml per US gal |
*Rates above are Athena's dosage reference for concentrates mixed at 2lb per US gallon. Choose your target EC according to your crop stage, growing environment, water quality and Athena feed schedule. Always confirm the finished reservoir with a calibrated EC meter.
Athena Pro Line is particularly well suited to growers using coco, rockwool, reservoirs, drip irrigation and automated fertigation systems.
Because the fertilisers are fully soluble when prepared correctly, they are designed to run cleanly through irrigation equipment without leaving the sediment associated with less soluble nutrient mixes.
The Mix Kit also works well for smaller growers who want Pro Line precision without buying and storing larger commercial bags of dry fertiliser.
Make the full concentrate properly once rather than weighing small amounts of powder for every reservoir. Keep Core, Grow and Bloom concentrates separate, dose them individually into water, and let your calibrated EC meter confirm the final strength before feeding.
