Athena Pro Core Dry Soluble 14-0-0 Fertilizer 10 lb — Calcium & Nitrogen Base for Hydroponics

Athena Pro Core is a commercial-grade, water-soluble 14-0-0 base fertilizer that supplies calcium, nitrogen, and micronutrients as a foundation for hydroponic and soil feeding programs.

Designed as the first step in a complete nutrient regimen, this 10 lb bag of dry soluble concentrate dissolves fully to create a stable stock solution for stock tanks, fertigation systems, and hand-feeding. Its mineral-only, low-heavy-metal formula focuses on calcium and nitrogen with balanced trace elements, making it compatible with Athena Pro Grow and Pro Bloom to form a full-spectrum program for vegetables, fruiting crops, herbs, and ornamentals.

How do I use Athena Pro Core for mixing and feeding?

Mixing is straightforward: create a concentrated stock solution, then dilute to the required strength for your growth stage. The product dissolves completely with no residue, which simplifies tank maintenance and automated dosing.

• Mix ratio: 2 lbs per gallon to prepare a foundation stock solution.
• Dilute stock to desired EC or ppm based on crop and stage.
• Compatible with Dosatron, Netaflex, Rhythm, and standard fertigation setups.
• Use alongside Athena Pro Grow/Bloom for a complete nutrient profile.

Will this clog my irrigation lines or leave sediment?

Athena Pro Core is formulated to be 100% water-soluble, leaving no insoluble residue when mixed correctly. That property reduces the risk of buildup in stock tanks, tubing, and emitters, making it suitable for commercial recirculating systems and home setups alike.

• Fully dissolves with proper agitation and warm water.
• Low particulate load minimizes emitter and filter blockages.
• Safe for drip lines, sprayers, and hydroponic reservoirs.
• Helps maintain consistent nutrient delivery between cleanings.

What plants and growing methods benefit from this 14-0-0 base?

Because it emphasizes calcium and nitrogen with necessary micronutrients, Athena Pro Core is ideal as a foundation feed for vegetative development and structural strength. It suits a wide range of methods, including hydroponics, soil, coco coir, greenhouse production, and outdoor beds.

• Vegetables, tomatoes, peppers, and other fruiting crops.
• Herbs, ornamentals, and leafy greens during growth stages.
• Works in hydroponic systems, raised beds, containers, and in-ground gardens.
• Designed for both commercial growers and hobbyists.

How does Athena Pro Core fit into a complete nutrient program?

Think of this product as the foundational base that supplies calcium, nitrogen, and trace elements; it pairs with Athena Pro Grow and Pro Bloom to round out missing phosphorus, potassium, and bloom-specific components. Using it as the consistent base simplifies nutrient management by standardizing calcium and nitrogen inputs across growth cycles.

• Serves as the primary calcium and nitrogen source in a multi-part program.
• Combine with bloom or grow supplements to address stage-specific needs.
• Stable pH behavior helps keep reservoir chemistry predictable.
• Mineral-only formula reduces risk of organic residues and biofilm.

Who is this for: Athena Pro Core is made for growers who need a high-purity, soluble base nutrient that scales from hobby to commercial operations. If you run fertigation systems, stock tanks, or automated dosing equipment and want a dependable calcium-nitrogen foundation that integrates with Athena Pro Grow and Pro Bloom, this 10 lb concentrate provides a cost-effective, low-residue way to support vigorous structure and steady development across multiple crops and environments.
