Hypochlorous acid irrigation maintenance — 275-gal tote for continuous commercial use.
Athena Blended Cleanse is a hypochlorous acid (HOCl) solution formulated to descale irrigation lines, suppress biofilm, and maintain root-zone oxygen availability across every growth stage. NPK 0-0-0 — it adds zero minerals to your nutrient program and won't move your EC.
Athena Blended Cleanse is a liquid hypochlorous acid (HOCl) solution derived from salt via a proprietary electrochemical process. HOCl is plant-safe and carries powerful oxidative properties that break down mineral scale, decompose biofilm-forming organic matter, and increase the oxidation-reduction potential (ORP) of irrigation water — without contributing any nitrogen, phosphorus, or potassium to your tank.
The formula is neutral in pH and carries extremely low TDS, meaning it integrates into any existing Athena Blended Line feed schedule or third-party nutrient program without shifting your mineral balance or requiring additional pH correction. It is part of the Athena Blended Line — a liquid two-part programme built for simplicity and repeatability, with no dry salts to weigh.
Cleanse is designed for licensed commercial cannabis and hemp operations running drip, RDWC, DWC, NFT, or any recirculating fertigation system at scale. At the 275-gallon tote format (SKU: LQB-CL-275G), it is the right buy for multi-room facilities or multi-site operators who need a continuous bulk supply on-site — not a retail jug that runs out mid-crop.
It is also relevant to propagation programs: fresh cuttings dipped in a Cleanse solution (10 mL per gallon) show improved cell health and immune response, and cloning machines benefit from regular Cleanse treatment to prevent anaerobic conditions and biofilm formation that can tank cut success rates. Any facility irrigating with recirculating or DWC systems — where mineral lockout and oxygen depletion are chronic operational risks — should have Cleanse in the maintenance protocol.
Non-toxic and non-nutritive: Cleanse is safe on plants at any growth stage — vegetative, flowering, or flush — without affecting mineral balance. Its neutral pH means it won't destabilize your solution.
Scale and biofilm control: Regular use breaks down mineral deposits, calcium scale, and organic biofilm that accumulate in drip lines, emitters, reservoirs, and manifolds. Blocked emitters and reduced flow are direct causes of uneven canopy development and inconsistent EC delivery — Cleanse addresses that at the source.
ORP elevation: Increasing the oxidation-reduction potential of irrigation water reduces the risk of anaerobic microbial growth and suppresses the conditions that lead to root zone problems commonly associated with overwatering and oxygen-deficient media.
Surface and equipment sanitation: Diluted Cleanse solution (375 mL per gallon) can be applied to cultivation surfaces, work areas, and irrigation hardware as a non-toxic sanitation treatment — extending equipment life and maintaining a clean facility environment between runs.
At the 275-gallon tote scale, Cleanse is a set-and-forget maintenance input. Facilities running multi-zone drip systems through Dosatron or Netafim-style injectors can pull directly from the tote for in-line dosing, keeping labor low and application consistent across zones. The 0-0-0 profile means there is no nutrient-program interaction to manage — it fits alongside any base nutrient line.
For the final flush window, Cleanse at 5–10 mL per gallon actively strips residual mineral accumulation from media and plant tissue. Reducing mineral load in the final week or two encourages the plant to metabolize stored nutrients and supports expression of secondary metabolites — directly relevant to end-product quality standards in licensed cannabis production.
Cleanse is compatible with coco, rockwool, peat, soil, and soilless media types, and with recirculating and run-to-waste irrigation configurations. It carries no restriction on growth stage, making it one of the few inputs that runs the full length of the Athena Blended Line feed schedule without modification.

| HOCl Source | Salt via proprietary electrochemical process |
| pH Impact | Neutral — will not affect solution pH stability |

| Severe Conditions / Flush Rate | 5–10 mL per gallon of water |
| Cuttings / Clone Dip Rate | 10 mL per gallon |
Both. At 2–5 mL per gallon, Cleanse is formulated for regular, continuous use as an in-line maintenance input. The 5–10 mL per gallon rate is for more aggressive descaling or end-of-crop flushing. Because its NPK is 0-0-0 and its TDS contribution is negligible, it does not require you to adjust your base nutrient recipe or EC targets when used at maintenance rates.
Athena positions Cleanse as compatible with any media type, including soil and soilless peat-based mixes. However, HOCl is a broad-spectrum oxidizing agent — if your program relies heavily on live beneficial microbial inoculants in the root zone, evaluate Cleanse use during active inoculant establishment windows. For strictly mineral/synthetic programs running rockwool, coco, or DWC, there is no microbial protocol conflict.
The 275-gallon tote format is designed for bulk in-line integration. Athena's liquid Blended Line products are formulated to be sediment-free and compatible with dosing systems. Tote delivery to your facility is via freight — standard parcel carriers (UPS/FedEx/USPS) cannot handle this container size.
At 5–10 mL per gallon, Cleanse's oxidative HOCl action breaks down residual mineral scale in both the growing media and the plant's root tissue — accelerating the removal of accumulated nutrient salts that a plain water flush moves more slowly. Reducing excess mineral load in the final stage supports the plant's natural shift toward producing secondary metabolites, which is directly relevant to finished product quality in licensed cannabis cultivation.
Athena does not publish a specific shelf-life figure for Cleanse on the product label, and HOCl solutions can degrade with prolonged exposure to UV light and elevated temperatures. Store the tote in a cool, shaded area away from direct sunlight. Contact HSC directly for current lot-specific shelf-life guidance before committing to bulk tote volume relative to your facility's consumption rate.
