Athena, a vertically integrated formulator, manufacturer of liquid and dry fertilizer blends designed for commercial cannabis cultivators, offers a complete Facility Advisor service designed to help their extensive commercial grower network succeed while using the Athena Program.
The number one goal at Athena is to breed success. The team of Facility Advisors at Athena is made up of experienced growers that use the Athena Program in their personal gardens and implement into facilities that they currently consult for. They have a strong belief that “if you don’t do it, you don’t know it.” The Facility Advisors have first-hand knowledge of irrigation strategy, EC stacking, IPM, Dosatron, and overall facility standard operating procedures. Athena’s Facility Advisor program offers an added service at no charge for commercial growers and licensed producers.
“Our facility advisors learn from some of the best in the game to help guide facilities using the Athena program out in the field. The combination of years of knowledge, and years of R&D.” Stated Brandon Burkhart, Founder of Athena. The team is outfitted with Facility Advisor kits that contain instruments to measure PPFD/energy, water content, EC, substrate temperature in the medium, ORP and more. These tools allow the Facility Advisor team help their facilities diagnose problems and optimize quality yields.
