Silicon additionally benefits plant growth, stem structure, stress reduction, water usage (osmoregulation), and nutrient utilization.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCommercial growers find better results, particularly with reverse osmosis (RO) water, when buffering first with Athena Balance. Pure RO water has unstable chemical structure that can trap other nutrients when added without a buffer. Athena Balance adds just enough to the water to create a more homogenous fertilizer solution and reduce the need to pH adjust after mixing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFormula is sediment-free and is compatible with mechanical dosing systems (Dosatron). Athena Balance is not recommended for electronic dosing systems (Netafim).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout this item\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSilicon Supplement For pH Balance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUsed to increase fertilizer solution pH\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHelps buffer reverse osmosis (RO) water for more stable fertilizer solution\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo potassium silicate products needed with use of Blended Balance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpecifically concentrated to buffer irrigation water \u0026amp; stabilize to ideal pH\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBenefits plant growth, stem structure, stress reduction, water usage (osmoregulation), and nutrient utilization\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSediment-free formula\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with mechanical dosing systems (Dosatron)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdd 2-5 mL per gallon to your reservoir prior to mixing in other fertilizers and additives\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"Perris Hydroponics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49980288368888,"sku":"LQ-SIL-1G","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0685\/3538\/6360\/files\/LQ-SIL_1-Gal_01.jpg?v=1783969783","url":"https:\/\/www.gardenstatepetcenter.com\/products\/athena%c2%ae-blended%c2%ae-balance-potassium-silicate-1-gallon","provider":"Garden State Pet Center","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
