Boost plant growth with Athena CaMg. This essential supplement provides vital Calcium, Magnesium, Iron, and Nitrogen, correcting deficiencies for robust development. Ideal for hydroponics, RO water, and inert media, it ensures optimal nutrient balance. Maximise yields and plant health with this key Athena additive.
Athena CaMg is an essential plant supplement crafted to provide vital Calcium and Magnesium, alongside crucial levels of Iron and Nitrogen, particularly during periods of intense growth and development. This potent formula is designed to seamlessly integrate with the entire Athena range, especially complementing the two-part liquid formulas like the Athena Blended Grow A & B and Athena Blended Bloom A & B. It excels at correcting common nutrient deficiencies without disrupting the overall elemental balance of your nutrient solution, making it ideal for hydroponic systems, especially those utilising reverse osmosis (RO) water and inert media such as coco coir and rockwool.
Key Benefits of Athena CaMg
- Corrects Deficiencies: Effectively addresses common calcium, magnesium, iron, and nitrogen deficiencies, preventing issues like blossom end rot and stunted growth.
- Optimises Plant Health: Ensures plants have readily available essential minerals for robust growth, stronger cell walls, and vibrant, healthy foliage.
- Enhances Chlorophyll Production: Magnesium, a key component of chlorophyll, is vital for efficient photosynthesis and maximising energy production, leading to increased yields.
- Balances Nutrient Solutions: Specifically formulated to correct deficiencies without compromising the intricate elemental balance of your nutrient regimen, preventing nutrient lockout.
- Ideal for RO Water & Inert Media: Provides crucial supplementation for plants grown in nutrient-depleted reverse osmosis water or soilless media like coco and rockwool, which naturally lack these elements.
- Seamless Integration: Designed for easy incorporation into your existing feeding schedule with other Athena products, such as Athena PK for a balanced bloom boost, or Athena Cleanse for system maintenance.
How to Use Athena CaMg
Shake well before use. Always use clean measuring instruments and avoid putting anything into the bottle to prevent contamination.
Dosage Rates:
Add Athena CaMg to your nutrient solution during all stages of growth as needed. For most applications, a general guideline is 5-26ml per 10 litres of water. For specific application recommendations tailored to your crop and growth stage, always refer to the Athena Blended Feed Schedule which you can get from the Downloads tab above.Best Practices:
- Monitor Electrical Conductivity (EC) regularly and adjust accordingly based on your crop and growth stage.
- Adjust pH to proper levels after mixing all fertilisers and additives.
- Do not combine in undiluted form.
- Store closed in original packaging at a temperature between 8°C and 30°C (45°F and 85°F).
- If growing in coco, consider pre-drenching your substrate with a light solution of CaMg (0.5 ml/L) before potting to prevent future deficiencies.
Can be used with all grow media including coco, hydroponics and soil.
Available in 946ml and 3.79 litres.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I always need to use CaMg with Athena nutrients?
While Athena's two-part formulas provide sufficient levels of Calcium and Magnesium for many growers, certain cultivars, intense growth phases, or specific growing conditions (like using RO water or inert media) may require additional supplementation. If your plants show signs of calcium or magnesium deficiencies, or if you're using reverse osmosis water, Athena CaMg is highly beneficial.Can Athena CaMg be used in soil?
Yes, Athena CaMg can be used in soil. However, it is primarily designed and optimised for hydroponic and soilless growing methods. If using in soil, you may need to adjust feeding schedules and concentrations accordingly, typically opting for lighter feeding rates.What is the NPK ratio of Athena CaMg?
Athena CaMg has an NPK ratio of 2-0-0. This indicates it primarily provides Nitrogen (N) in addition to Calcium and Magnesium, with no significant Phosphorus (P) or Potassium (K). This allows it to supplement these vital elements without skewing the overall macronutrient balance of your base fertiliser.SKU: 1615Free delivery on orders over £60*
