Athena Balance pH Regulator creates a consistent, balanced nutrient solution by stabilising pH and improving nutrient availability throughout the grow cycle. Whether using reverse osmosis (RO) water, municipal supply or well water, it helps prevent unstable water chemistry and nutrient lock-out, resulting in stronger, healthier plants.
Key Features & Benefits
- pH Stabilisation & Buffering: Regulates and buffers water or nutrient solution pH, reducing the need for constant manual adjustment after mixing nutrients
- Potassium Silicate Enriched: Buffers pH while delivering silica to strengthen cell walls, support strong stem structure and improve stress resistance
- Prevents Nutrient Lock-Out: Helps keep nutrient solutions homogeneous so essential elements such as calcium, magnesium and phosphorus remain available to plants
- Versatile Across Growing Media: Compatible with hydroponics, coco coir, rockwool and soil-based growing systems
- Supports Plant Health & Stress Resistance: Silicon improves structural strength and overall plant vigour under environmental stress
- Sediment-Free & Doser-Friendly: Clean, sediment-free formula suitable for mechanical dosing systems such as Dosatron (not recommended for some electronic dosers)
How to Use
Add Athena Balance to clean water before any nutrients or additives, especially when using RO or very soft waterUse approximately 0.25–1 ml per litre of water, depending on water hardness and required pH correction
Mix thoroughly until the solution is fully homogeneous before adding other nutrients
Check pH with a calibrated meter and adjust further if required
Suitable for all growth stages, from seedlings and clones through vegetative and flowering phases
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Why should I use a pH regulator like Athena Balance instead of standard pH Up/Down?Athena Balance not only adjusts pH but stabilises water chemistry, particularly useful with RO or low-mineral water. This helps prevent nutrient lock-out while providing potassium silicate to strengthen plant structure and improve stress resistance.
Is this suitable for hydroponic systems?
Yes, Athena Balance works across hydroponic, coco, rockwool and soil systems, creating a stable nutrient solution regardless of growing medium.
When should I add Athena Balance?
Always add Athena Balance first to plain water before mixing in any nutrients or additives. Mix thoroughly before proceeding with your feeding schedule.
Will Athena Balance affect my nutrient schedule or other additives?
No. Athena Balance is compatible with most nutrient lines and additives when used as directed, provided it is not combined with another potassium silicate product.
Can I use it with reverse osmosis (RO) water?
Yes. Athena Balance is especially beneficial with RO or very soft water, buffering and stabilising water chemistry to create a reliable base for nutrient solutions.
Athena Balance pH Regulator goes beyond simple pH correction by transforming water into a stable, plant-ready base that optimises nutrient availability and supports stronger, healthier growth. Ideal for hobby gardeners and professional growers alike, it removes the guesswork from feeding and helps plants thrive in a consistent, balanced environment.
