Athena®: Fertilizers for True Professionals
As the classic says, growing has not yet built up a tradition here. Even in the Czech Republic, however, the number of growers looking for truly professional equipment and fertilizers is growing. Often they have no choice but to look abroad for inspiration, where commercial indoor cultivation advances by leaps and bounds. We were curious which brand the best growers in the United States prefer, so we asked some of the most acclaimed indoor growers in the world – Jungle Boys from sunny California!
Those of you who do not regularly follow the latest trends from the world of growing may not have heard of Jungle Boys. It is an ever-expanding group of professional indoor growers led by the industry legend Iván Vanorvwick. All members of the collective are regarded as masters of their craft, and Jungle Boys belong to the modern wave of indoor growers who were the first generation to break into the American legal market. Compared to their underground predecessors from the 1990s, today’s modern American growers can make use of the best equipment and draw knowledge from leading scientists in the field of indoor plant cultivation, which shows in their work.
A slightly different jungle…
At the start of their career, Jungle Boys became famous for their top extracts made from hand-selected cultivars and from plants grown to accentuate their terpene profiles. The high quality and unique “handcrafted” approach of Jungle Boys soon brought them to the attention of experts and the public, and growing demand posed a pressing question. How to scale up production while not budging an inch from the high quality standards their customers expect? According to Roache, one of the leading members of Jungle Boys, the answer was clear – partner with a fertilizer manufacturer and develop the perfect nutritional program for indoor plant cultivation that Jungle Boys could use in all of their facilities.
“Working with Athena® was an amazing experience for me. We went into detail on how to tailor nutrition programs in a way that would suit all growers regardless of their setup. The result of our work is the Athena® line of fertilizers and products, which we use in all of our operations,” says Roach of Jungle Boys.

Athena® Pro Line fertilizers
Pro Line from Athena® is a two-part fertilizer range suitable for cultivation in coco, hydroponics, or other soilless substrates. It can be used to prepare nutrient solution or as a concentrate in automatic dosing systems. Pro Line works best with reverse osmosis water, contains sufficient magnesium and calcium (no need to add CalMag), and the fertilizers can be used in aeroponic cloning machines. Pro Line fertilizers are not suitable for hand watering or DWC hydroponic systems.
- Pro Core – A base fertilizer in granular form, providing plants with sufficient nutrients in all growth stages. Pro Core is used as part of a two-part system together with Bloom or Grow throughout the cultivation cycle.
- Pro Grow – A soluble fertilizer for vegetative growth with a balanced NPK content that does not contain nitrogen in the ammoniacal form. Pro Grow is used as part of the two-part system together with Pro Core.
- Pro Bloom – A soluble fertilizer with a high PK content (additional PK boosters are not required) and zero nitrogen. Unlike competitors, Pro Bloom contains potassium sulfate instead of potassium nitrate. Pro Bloom is used as part of the two-part system together with Pro Core or Fade.
- Fade – A ripening enhancer that removes nitrogen from plants during the final weeks of flowering, speeds up maturation, and improves the terpene profile. Fade replaces Pro Core in the final weeks of bloom.
