Athena Pro Fade is a nitrogen-free finishing enhancer, formulated to replace your standard base nutrient during the final 2–3 weeks of flowering or fruiting. By removing excess nitrogen, which can slow maturation, while continuing to supply essential calcium and micronutrients, Fade helps plants redirect energy away from vegetative growth and towards flower, fruit or oil production.
This approach promotes natural ripening, improved terpene and flavour development and a cleaner final harvest without the risks associated with plain water flushing.
Key Features & Benefits
- Nitrogen-Free Finishing Flush: Removes nitrogen that can delay maturation and keep plants vegetative late into flower or fruiting
- Maintains Essential Nutrients: Supplies calcium and micronutrients to support plant health through ripening
- Enhances Flavour, Aroma & Quality: Encourages nutrient reallocation to essential oils, terpenes and flavour compounds
- Cleaner Final Harvest: Helps reduce excess nutrient residue and supports a more effective final flush
- Easy to Integrate: Replaces your standard base feed at the same dilution rate with no schedule changes
- Wide Compatibility: Suitable for hydroponic, coco, soil, rockwool and recirculating systems

Check and adjust EC and pH after mixing to suit your crop and system.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Why use Athena Pro Fade instead of flushing with plain water?Plain water flushing removes all nutrients, including essential immobile elements like calcium. Fade removes nitrogen while still supplying key minerals, preventing deficiencies and supporting proper ripening.
Will removing nitrogen cause deficiencies?
No. Fade continues to provide calcium and micro-elements, maintaining plant health while allowing natural maturation to occur.
Is Athena Pro Fade suitable for all grow systems?
Yes, it works effectively in hydroponic, coco, soil, rockwool and recirculating setups.
When should I start using Fade?
Begin using Fade during the final 2–3 weeks of flowering or fruiting, when plants shift focus toward ripening and finish quality.
Can Fade be used with bloom nutrients or additives?
Yes, many growers combine Fade with bloom-phase nutrients during the finishing stage, as long as EC and pH are monitored and label guidelines are followed.
Athena Pro Fade gives growers a reliable, professional way to finish crops cleanly and effectively. By removing nitrogen while maintaining essential minerals, it supports natural ripening, enhances aroma and flavour and helps deliver a mature, high-quality harvest across soil, coco and hydroponic systems.
