Athena Nutrients Fade – Nitrogen-Free Finishing Formula
Athena Fade is a nitrogen-free supplement designed for use in the final weeks of flowering. By eliminating excess nitrogen and supplying clean calcium and microelements, Fade encourages a natural ripening process that improves flavour, aroma, and overall crop quality. Used as a direct replacement for **Athena Pro Core** during the finishing stage, it helps plants focus on producing essential oils, terpenes, and secondary metabolites for a smoother, more potent harvest.
Key Benefits
- Nitrogen-free formula; prevents excess nitrogen from delaying flower maturation
- Supports natural fade; allows plants to break down chlorophyll and redirect energy into flower development
- Improves quality; enhances aroma, flavour, and resin content for a cleaner finish
- Balanced minerals; provides calcium and essential microelements to maintain plant health during the final push
- System compatible; mixes cleanly in soil, coco, hydro, and recirculating systems
Why You Need Athena Fade
As flowering plants approach harvest, excess nitrogen can slow ripening and reduce final quality. High nitrogen levels keep leaves dark green and vegetative, which delays flower maturation and lowers terpene and essential oil production. Athena Fade solves this by cutting nitrogen completely while still supplying calcium and trace elements, ensuring plants finish strong without compromising health. The result is a cleaner burn, richer aroma, and a crop that expresses its true genetic potential.
How Athena Fade Works
Fade is formulated to replace **Athena Pro Core** during the last three weeks of flower. By removing nitrogen from the equation, it allows plants to naturally yellow and senesce, signalling them to focus resources on resin and oil production. At the same time, added calcium and microelements maintain cell structure and protect against late-stage deficiencies, preventing yield loss while enhancing overall crop finish.
How to Use Athena Nutrients – Fade
- Timing: Use during the final 2–3 weeks of flowering, replacing **Athena Pro Core** in your feeding schedule.
- Dosage: Add 10–16 ml per gallon (approx. 2.6–4 ml per litre) of water.
- Mixing: Use in place of Pro Core; continue running Athena Pro Bloom alongside Fade for full-spectrum flower nutrition.
- Media compatibility: Works in soil, coco, rockwool, and hydroponic systems; mixes cleanly with no sediment.
