Description

Athena Cleanse is a unique plant-safe rootzone optimiser, with multiple uses for any grower.

  • Keeps rootzone, growing media and irrigation lines free from mineral build-up
  • Can be used as a final flush
  • Decomposes dead matter
  • Does not affect the EC of the nutrient solution
  • Safe to use on any medium and at any stage of growth/fruiting/flowering

A mild hypochlorous acid, it has powerful oxidative properties and has a multitude of uses (see below) for any type of grower, indoor or outdoor, hobbyist to commercial, inexperienced to green-fingered. Seedlings and cuttings treated with Cleanse have more vigour and are more likely to grow into bigger, stronger plants. Rootzones treated with Cleanse will help them to be bright white, healthy and bursting with feeder hairs.

Its effective in a recirculating or DWC system in breaking down materials with lower solubility ratings, such as minerals that are no longer bio-available to plants. Mineral build-up and even worse, lockout, is a common cause of deficiencies and plant health issues - Irrigation water has a much-reduced risk of developing problems that are often associated with overwatering and low oxygen levels, such as anaerobic microbial growth and the build-up of biofilm.

It also helps maintain a clean and problem-free environment without the use of any toxic or dangerous chemicals - helps extend the life of equipment such as irrigation system filters, by running treated water through the system regularly. Safe to use at any time during vegetative, flowering or fruiting phases, it can also be used in any sterile growing system.

How to use:

  • Regular use: 0.5-1.3ml per litre of water
  • Media/System Flush: 2.6ml per litre of water during the final flush stage
  • Cuttings/Clones: 2.6ml per litre of water - cuttings/clones can be dipped into a solution of Cleanse to improve plant health
  • Surface Treatment/Cleaning: 100ml per litre of water - spray work areas and irrigation equipment to ensure a problem-free environment.
  • Foliar: 100ml per litre of water - spray evenly after first testing on a small area to ensure no damage will occur.
  • Please refer to the feed schedule for more information (see downloads below).

Best Practices:

  • Shake well before use.
  • Use clean measuring instruments - do not put anything into the bottle.
  • Store closed in original packaging at a temperature between 45° F and 85° F.
