Athena Pro Mix Kit

What the Athena Pro Mix Kit Is

The Pro Mix Kit is Athena's all-in-one entry point to the Pro Line — a dry soluble, 3-part nutrient system built specifically for commercial and semi-commercial cultivation. The kit packages three pre-measured 2 lb pouches (Pro Core, Pro Grow, and Pro Bloom) alongside three labeled 1-gallon mixing jugs, one for each formula. The intent is simple: eliminate the scale-and-weigh step for new operators, and standardize concentrate production so the first batch mixes the same as the hundredth.

Pro Core (14-0-0) is the dual-phase base that runs throughout the entire crop cycle, supplying nitrogen, calcium, and essential microelements including iron EDTA, manganese EDTA, copper EDTA, zinc EDTA, boric acid, and sodium molybdate. Pro Grow (2-8-20) covers vegetative phases with enhanced nitrogen. Pro Bloom (0-12-24) shifts the formula to phosphorus and potassium-forward nutrition for flowering, with sulfur included to support terpene and oil production. All three are 100% water-soluble, leaving zero sediment or particulates in solution.

Who This Kit Is Built For

The Pro Mix Kit is the right starting point for licensed cannabis and hemp operators who are new to the Athena Pro Line, operators standardizing a new room or facility, and any cultivation team that wants to validate the Pro Line workflow before committing to 10 lb or 25 lb bulk formats. It fits soil, coco, and hydroponic systems equally — and the concentrate method it teaches scales directly to advanced fertigation infrastructure.

Athena's Pro Line is designed for large-scale cultivators running advanced irrigation and fertigation programs, so the Pro Mix Kit functions as the operational proof-of-concept. Once a team is comfortable with the concentrate procedure and EC targets, they can transition to Athena's 10 lb refill boxes (which supply matching 2 lb pouches in bulk) without changing any part of the mixing or feeding workflow. The kit is also useful for multi-site operators standardizing a recipe across locations — one kit, one procedure, consistent mineral delivery.

Concentrate Mixing Workflow & Irrigation Compatibility

Athena's recommended protocol is to mix each formula as a liquid concentrate first — at 2 lbs per gallon of water — before dosing into the batch reservoir. The pre-measured pouches eliminate the weighing step: drop one pouch into its labeled jug, fill to the graduation line with water, and shake until fully dissolved. The resulting concentrate is then measured by volume into the batch tank, using Athena's published EC-based dosage charts to hit the target feed strength. This approach maintains consistent mineral ratios across every mix and removes batch-to-batch variance caused by inaccurate powder weighing.

The 100% soluble mineral formula is designed specifically for commercial dosing hardware. It is compatible with Dosatron, Netaflex, Rhythm, and similar proportional injection systems. No organic solids or particulates means irrigation lines, emitters, and reservoir walls stay clean. Pro Core and Pro Grow or Pro Bloom are always used together — never combine the dry powders or their concentrates directly with each other; each formula must be dissolved separately before being added to the batch reservoir.

How the Pro Mix Kit Fits a Larger Build

For operators running established fertigation systems, the Pro Mix Kit is a low-commitment format to verify the Pro Line integrates cleanly with existing infrastructure — EC meters, dosing pumps, reservoir sizing, and irrigation scheduling — before purchasing bulk. The 1-gallon jug format mirrors the workflow used in large facilities running 25 lb bags: mix concentrate, validate EC, dose to reservoir. Nothing changes procedurally when scaling up.

Once the Pro Line is dialed in, the logical next step is Athena's 10 lb Pro Line refill boxes, which contain multiple 2 lb pouches designed to work with the same mixing jugs included in this kit. For high-volume operations with automated injection systems, 25 lb bag formats are also available through HSC. The Pro Mix Kit does not include Pro Fade or any supplemental additive — those are separate SKUs in the Athena catalog for operators who want to layer in a late-cycle finisher.
