Tienes la línea pro, yo tengo la mezcla. Corría a 500 ppm y las quemaba. Bajó a 230 ahora y parecen mucho mejores
[/CITA]
if I have the pro line, I'm still novice with athena, I give manual irrigations I don't use any system, I'm seeing if I can use athena in a recirculation system

I wouldn’t, you don’t need much run off to flush and you don’t need to be flushing every watering or even every day

Im planning on using Athena Pro because im sick of my friends 12 part "recipe" that doesnt get my good results and expensive asf. My question is can I just scale out the amount of grams I need per gallon and just throw it in my 100 gallon reservoir with a mixer then water? Or do I need to dilute that first then pour it in my res.

Probably want to mix it as a concentration then add it in to a rez that big. The core in particular takes some work to mix in

Ok thanks what should I use to mix it? Like a blender or something? Also do you think its ok If I use salts in soil? Should I be doing feed water feed water?

You could probably just mix each part into a separate gallon container and shake the shit out of it halfway full of water. I wouldn’t feed every water in soil and I wouldn’t run 3 ec in soil like they recommend for inert media

Ok thanks yeah thats what I was thinking just shaking it in a container and I also have a EcoPlus Submersible Pump in my res to help . I'm gonna try and feed, water, feed water. Also I'm just going to follow Athena's normal feeding chart and its 2.0 EC.

My boys in coco and rockwool are KILLING it at 3.0 EC start to finish

Damn one day I will change to coco, I'm getting sick of soil lol.


JewelRunner said:
It’s definitely the way to go for a lot of reasons but people have a hard time jumping from soil to a completely inert media running salt and feeding multiple times a day. It’s worth the jump, I run coco and this shit rocks

Yeah I want to switch to Coco eventually. I already just use bottled nutes that contain plenty of salts, not organic so like wtf am I doing growing in soil. But I would either have to hand water once a day or set up a drip system and I'd have to rethink my whole set up for that lol.

Hey guys so I messaged Athena about using their nutrients with Fox Farm Ocean Forest Soil and they said I should only use "inert media", basically a soil without nutrients in it? Anyone have an idea of what soil I should use instead?

Second question: Also Would I be ok using a sediment and carbon water filter which removes all the heavy metals and chlorine? Or should I get an RO water filter?

Closest inert media to soil is pro mix but I would recommend just switching to coco if you can stay on top of watering. Unless your water is really bad you don’t need RO
