Athena Pro Bloom

Athena Pro Bloom – Professional Powdered Bloom Nutrient

Athena Pro Bloom is a fully water-soluble powdered base nutrient designed to support flowering and fruit development in professional horticultural and hydroponic growing systems. Formulated as part of the Athena Pro Line, Pro Bloom provides a balanced supply of phosphorus, potassium, magnesium and other important minerals required during the flowering and fruiting stages.

With an NPK ratio of 0-12-24, Athena Pro Bloom delivers phosphorus and potassium without adding nitrogen directly from the Bloom component. When used alongside Athena Pro Core, it forms a complete nutrient programme designed to support healthy flowering, fruit formation and consistent crop development.

Its highly soluble, low-sediment formulation makes Athena Pro Bloom particularly suitable for growers using automated irrigation, fertigation systems and concentrated stock tanks. The dry powder dissolves in water at room temperature, making it convenient for both commercial operations and smaller hydroponic setups.

Key Features & Benefits

• Professional flowering nutrient: Designed to support plants during flowering and fruit development.
• High phosphorus and potassium content: Supplies essential macronutrients involved in reproductive growth and crop development.
• Fully water-soluble powder: Dissolves in water without leaving unwanted sediment when prepared correctly.
• Designed for Athena Pro Core: Works alongside Pro Core to provide a balanced supply of essential nutrients.
• Contains magnesium and sulphur: Provides additional minerals involved in photosynthesis, enzyme activity and normal plant metabolism.
• Suitable for automated fertigation: Compatible with appropriate Dosatron, Netaflex and Rhythm dosing systems.
• Ideal for stock tanks: Can be mixed into concentrated solutions for professional nutrient dosing.
• Low heavy metal content: Manufactured with an emphasis on consistent fertiliser quality.
• Clean irrigation performance: Designed to minimise sediment and the risk of blocked irrigation lines.
• Easy to store and transport: Dry fertiliser format reduces the need to handle large volumes of liquid nutrient concentrate.

Why Use Athena Pro Bloom?

As plants move from vegetative growth into flowering and fruit development, their nutritional requirements change. Phosphorus and potassium become particularly important for supporting normal reproductive growth, energy transfer and the development of flowers and fruit.

Athena Pro Bloom has been developed to supply these nutrients as part of a controlled professional feeding programme.

Rather than relying on multiple separate bloom additives, growers can use Pro Bloom alongside Athena Pro Core to provide the essential mineral nutrition required during the flowering stage.

Its powdered format also offers practical advantages for larger growing operations, allowing growers to prepare concentrated stock solutions and manage nutrient delivery through automated dosing equipment.

Understanding the Nutrients in Athena Pro Bloom

Athena Pro Bloom contains several important mineral nutrients that support plant development during flowering and fruiting.

• Phosphorus (P): Supports energy transfer, root development and normal reproductive growth.
• Potassium (K): Plays an important role in water regulation, enzyme activity and fruit development.
• Magnesium (Mg): An essential component of chlorophyll, supporting photosynthesis and plant metabolism.
• Sulphur (S): Required for the formation of certain amino acids, proteins and other important plant compounds.
• Iron (Fe): Supports chlorophyll formation and important metabolic processes.

When combined with Athena Pro Core at the appropriate ratio, Pro Bloom helps form a balanced nutrient solution containing the essential elements required for flowering and fruiting crops.

How to Use Athena Pro Bloom

Athena Pro Bloom must be used alongside Athena Pro Core to provide a complete feeding programme.

It can be mixed directly into a nutrient reservoir or prepared as a concentrated stock solution for use with compatible dosing equipment.

Always use clean water, accurate measuring equipment and the appropriate Athena Pro Line feeding schedule.

Mixing Athena Pro Bloom in a Reservoir

When preparing a nutrient solution directly in a reservoir, Athena recommends using 0.6g of Pro Core for every 1g of Pro Bloom.

1. Fill your reservoir with the required amount of clean water.
2. Measure the required quantity of Athena Pro Bloom according to your feeding schedule.
3. Add Pro Bloom to the water and mix thoroughly until dissolved.
4. Measure the corresponding quantity of Athena Pro Core at a ratio of 0.6g of Core per 1g of Bloom.
5. Add Pro Core separately to the diluted solution, following Athena's current mixing instructions.
6. Allow the nutrients to dissolve and mix completely.
7. Check the electrical conductivity (EC) of the finished solution.
8. Measure and adjust the final pH as required.

Important: Never mix dry fertilisers together or combine concentrated Pro Bloom and Pro Core stock solutions directly. Always dissolve products separately as instructed to reduce the risk of unwanted mineral reactions.

This table illustrates the stated Pro Bloom to Pro Core mixing ratio. The total amount required depends on your reservoir volume, crop requirements and target EC.

Preparing Athena Pro Bloom Stock Concentrate

Athena Pro Bloom can also be prepared as a concentrated stock solution for use with compatible automated dosing systems.

Maximum stock concentration: 1.1kg of Pro Bloom per 4 litres of water, according to the supplied product instructions.

1. Use a clean stock tank or suitable mixing container.
2. Add the required volume of clean water.
3. Slowly add the measured Pro Bloom powder while mixing.
4. Continue agitation until the powder has fully dissolved.
5. Keep Pro Bloom and Pro Core in separate concentrated stock tanks.
6. Connect the prepared stock solution to your compatible dosing system.
7. Adjust the injection rate according to your feeding schedule and target nutrient strength.
8. Check the final EC and pH after dosing.

Do not exceed the manufacturer's recommended stock concentration. Solubility can be affected by water temperature and water quality.

Suitable for Automated Fertigation Systems

Athena Pro Bloom is designed for professional nutrient dosing and irrigation systems where consistency and solubility are important.

Its large-grind, fully soluble powder is formulated to dissolve without leaving significant sediment when prepared correctly.

Suitable applications include:

• Dosatron mechanical dosing systems
• Netaflex fertigation systems
• Rhythm dosing systems
• Automated hydroponic irrigation
• Commercial greenhouse fertigation
• Concentrated nutrient stock tanks
• Large-scale nutrient mixing reservoirs

Always confirm equipment compatibility and maintain suitable filtration, mixing and cleaning procedures.

Athena Pro Bloom Ingredients

Athena Pro Bloom contains the following fertiliser ingredients:

• Potassium Phosphate
• Potassium Sulphate
• Magnesium Sulphate
• Iron DTPA

These ingredients provide phosphorus, potassium, magnesium, sulphur and chelated iron as part of the complete Athena Pro Line nutrient programme.

NPK Analysis

The 0-12-24 analysis reflects the declared nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium content of Athena Pro Bloom. Nitrogen and other essential nutrients are supplied through the accompanying Pro Core component.

Suitable Growing Systems

Athena Pro Bloom can be used in compatible feeding programmes across a wide range of growing systems, including:

• Hydroponic growing systems
• Deep Water Culture (DWC)
• Recirculating hydroponic systems
• Coco coir growing media
• Rockwool and other soilless substrates
• Drip irrigation and automated fertigation systems
• Indoor growing environments
• Commercial greenhouses

Tips for Best Results

• Always use Pro Bloom alongside Athena Pro Core.
• Follow the appropriate Athena Pro Line feeding schedule.
• Use accurate scales when measuring powdered nutrients.
• Dissolve products thoroughly in water before adding additional fertilisers.
• Keep concentrated Pro Bloom and Pro Core stock solutions separate.
• Do not exceed the recommended maximum stock concentration.
• Monitor EC regularly and adjust nutrient strength according to crop requirements.
• Check and adjust pH after all nutrients have been mixed.
• Maintain clean dosing equipment, filters and irrigation lines.
• Store unused powder in a dry, sealed container.

Storage Instructions

Store Athena Pro Bloom in its original packaging with the container securely closed. Keep in a cool, dry location away from moisture, direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.

Prevent water or humidity from entering the container, as this may cause the powder to clump and affect handling.
