Hopefully I don't need the sugar because it is a pain in the ass messing with that gunking up your injectors. I don't think sugar does anything positive, even in soil, but the terp tests will tell me. Results so far (week 3) indicate it looks even better. I am doing a run with Athena this time with no sugar to compare. I will note that all of the runs also included sucanat. Hopefully none of my competitors read this post. But I have learned a lot from others on this site and I think I should pay it forward. I hesitate to even post all this info because I am in a very competitive market, the Athena is that good, I don't want others using it. I spent more in the last year trying different fertilizers and having barely used bags of each one everywhere. It's not that expensive in the grand scheme of things, so I'll probably just keep buying it.
#ATHENA AG PRO PRO#
I don't know which parameter is responsible for the improved performance so it would be a lot of guess work and subpar runs compared to just paying for the Athena. This reference guide shows the various concentrate mixing ratio and dosage units for the Pro Line. After seeing the analysis, some of the micronutrient values they have are hard to get with a standard micro package and they are quite different than the label values. I was going to clone the mix to save money but to be honest I already did a run with a clone of it I made using the label values and the results weren't quite as good as the real thing. Like I suspected, the Mg was higher than the label. The lab analysis of the Athena pretty much matched the label values for the macronutrients.
It doesn't match any hydroponic solution I've ever seen. I can't explain why the Mg is damn near 90 ppm in Jacks 321. You get bowling ball rocks so hard you can't even press them in. The only thing that sells around here is ultra dense buds that look like they were grown with PGRs it seems like. If not, I may have to go back to Jacks 321. I hope my customers are sophisticated enough to recognize how much better the bud is compared to what they are used to.
I am awaiting tests of the bud for THC and terps. The Athena buds were even easier to trim and I really saw no mold. A little more open looking, if you've seen JungleBoys buds ( ) you know the look. The buds look different compared to the very dense Jacks 321 buds I am used to. I was pleasantly surprised that the Athena hype doesn't seem to be bullshit. The bud tender I showed them to preferred the Athena instantly, citing the increased depth of color. Strains I've run many times before were darker purple and more colorful than I've ever seen them. Purples everywhere and frost and the smell was damn near perfect. I had buds from the previous run to compare side by side to and it wasn't a subtle improvement. More color, smell, and frost compared to the previous run with Jacks 321.
