Oh, and according to the verifiable information I provided, even 5 months ago is after they fired up the Sacramento facility, which was in February I believe. So even 5 months ago, you were wrong. Or did you not catch that when you READ the article?Yu are right, I updated this thread with current and accurate info. My bad. And again, where did you learn that Grow More makes or did make Athena product? Show me and I will believe you. But don't just say some shit that can't be verified and then tell me I don't know what I am talking about or that I am someone I am not.
That all you got. I am using my smartphone buddy. Getting desperate huh?MORE SPIN PLEASE. Wow your English Skills seem like they just got rattled a little bit with that last one.
As I was telling Anthem, you can find me on IG under n0name_james. I just started, got a little med grow. I mention none of these companies in my posts. I am actually trying out Growth Science nutes and Growers Choice led. Not sure what to think about either yet.Bingo. It's pretty obvious that's the case, or someone who benefits from them.
I'm out, the drama is too much for me.
I agree and disagree with your statement here about companies not manufacturing their own products. I own a nutrient company here in New England (we are extremely small). I do not do the manufacturing; however I do make the the formulations and pick the ingredients myself. They are sent to a blending company in Connecticut. There they are ground, blended, bottled, and sent back to me to be labeled etc.I am very familiar with the podcasts but I also have knowledge about who makes the stuff for Athena. I realize everyone of the nutrient companies would like you to think they have the ability to manufacturer the products and blend to the end product but the truth is there are fewer than you might think. Secondly, go to their website and try to find out if they have a facility. They do not even have a listed address. Most of these nutrient companies are just middle men, I use the product and I have nothing against the line but I do firmly believe they are subbing out the manufacturing. If you really want to get down to the bottom of things start looking at the line of liquid and you will quickly see if you compare them to the grow more line they are watered down.
Cost and simplicity are the reasons I am considering Athena. The only thing keeping me from committing is that I know a few growers that have said it is definitely a step back in terms of quality. Bud structure is great, has great bag appeal. But the terpene profile just isn't there. Maybe some of it is user error, but these folks are very experienced and I have seen the same strains grown with other nutrient lines and they had way more nose to them.I just wanna say I recently switched to coco and am using Athena pro line. Good results so far coming from a soil grower. I’m saving a lot from my previous recipe. Spending about $700 per run. No point to go out and buy the ingredients separately to save a few hundred more lol too much time and effort.
Damn yeah I think the quality problem you’ve heard about Athena is because of the growers not the nutrients. The quality is just as good as my $4,000 recipe with 16 parts.Cost and simplicity are the reasons I am considering Athena.

Have you noticed a loss in bud quality since switching to Athena?
Just FYI. I did a run with Growth Science so no one else on THC Farmer has too. The 5 bottle recipe appealed to me as it seemed simple and cost effective. but I found out their kelp product, Opulent Harvest, has 150ppm of copper, 40ppm of lead and about 6ppm of arsenic. I didn't even want to check the rest of their products, I was so disgusted when I saw that. I won't be using this line again and I recommend anyone reading this to avoid Growth Science products.
Peace.

Good numbers. And it looks dank. I picked up the pro line and IPM not long ago. Have not started yet but I am looking forward to it.I switched to Athena couple months ago and pulled 17 units of straight fire from 9 600w LEDs at 80%
And that was with three strains in that room. It's a quality product and cheap that run cost me about $200 in nutrients. I've been growing indoor for over 20 years and owned 3 hydro stores so I know the business pretty well.
I wish someone would put up Athena Blended like thisyou don’t pay for water with salts and I understand “The fear of the unknown“ . However , it’s kept my plants green without burn at running

when I get to the grow I’ll snap a few pics and post em . Show y’all what’s good .
I am sorry but I think most are running dry because of the savings verses paying for the blended.I wish someone would put up Athena Blended like this
how long did you veg before flipping?I switched to Athena couple months ago and pulled 17 units of straight fire from 9 600w LEDs at 80%

Believe it or not when a mother is grow in such good conditions and it likes what it is eating it will give more energy increase it’s lick if you was to eat McDonald’s every day you won’t function as good as you were to eat healthy I agree with Athena salts il never go back I’ve seen it for my self with the clones the stuff is just fire but Athena cuts is wak clonex all the way but I’m hitting 5 EC in veg I will increase when in flower to 7 EC sounds allot but they love itSo what in Athena is the difference? I see nothing in thier line that differs from many others.
Clones yellow from to much light it has nothing to do with nutrients. They don't even have roots to be able to take a significant amount up.
If I seem skeptical it's because I am and looking objectively. Often you see ppl attribute things to improvements that are just not the case.
Are you really feeding that much in veg and flower? That is ridiculous.Believe it or not when a mother is grow in such good conditions and it likes what it is eating it will give more energy increase it’s lick if you was to eat McDonald’s every day you won’t function as good as you were to eat healthy I agree with Athena salts il never go back I’ve seen it for my self with the clones the stuff is just fire but Athena cuts is wak clonex all the way but I’m hitting 5 EC in veg I will increase when in flower to 7 EC sounds allot but they love it
Oh you are back, bummerAre you really feeding that much in veg and flower? That is ridiculous.
At those rates, it can't be cheap to run. One of the selling points of Athena Pro Line is that it is cheaper to run than other fertilizers/ more economical.
A lot of growers out there running other lines might hit half of what you run in flower and get 80 grams a square foot of straight fire off of 600 and 700 watt LED lights. I have smoked a lot of bud grown on Athena Pro, from many growers, over the past 2 years and I am not impressed. Athena Ag is constantly evolving their product line and I am looking forward to seeing what they come up with next but the feed rates for healthy, productive growth are outrageous.
There's been a lot of hype around dry ferts the past few years. I will admit I was on board for a while. But I am happier with a simple and effective liquid line. I get better results and it's easier to handle and mix for me.
My current feed schedule in flower cost approx. 12 to 15 cents a gallon to run. I will not exceed 2.2 ec and I will most likely do between 2 to 2.5 pounds per 700 watt LED light, starting at 50% power week 1 and stepping up 10% each week until I'm at 80% in week 4.
Yeah, so why don't you stay off. Or did you just hop back on here to say something else stupid or to accuse me of being a rep for Athena again? Piss off bitch boiOh you are back, bummer
LMAOOh you are back, bummer

I have seen some of your posts. All you do is regurgitate what other, well known growers on this forum post. You chime in like you have something to add when you should just stay out of it. You want to contribute to this conversation, then say something about Athena, if you are even still using them.Oh you are back, bummer
