There is no talking about the cannabis industry without mentioning Athena Ag. Although it’s a relatively new entrant in the market, the company has revolutionized how many things are done. Founded in 2018, Athena Ag has grown exponentially and become one of the leading cannabis nutrient companies in the world.
Athena Ag lives up to its name. Named after the Greek goddess of wisdom, the company is built on a foundation of knowledge and its dissemination.
The company prides itself in providing growers with the knowledge and proper standard operating procedures guaranteed to give them the highest yields.
The company’s owner and founder, Brandon Burkhart, has a background in cannabis cultivation. He drew inspiration to start the company from the many disappointments he faced with numerous product lines before. He was tired of using dozens of products in his feed program and getting mediocre results, so he decided to create a different product line.
Burkhart’s partnership with one of the largest cannabis cultivators in California, Jungle Boys, resulted in Athena Ag’s growth into what it is today.
The partnership allowed Burkhart and his team to test products in grow rooms located in Los Angeles and perfect them. Today, Athena Ag has manufacturing lines for everything required by growers.
Athena Ag specializes in making clean and balanced nutrients for cannabis cultivation no other company produces. Its main product lines are liquid and powdered fertilizers. These are the Blended Line and Pro Lines, respectively.
The company also manufactures a foliar line and an integrated pest management line, the Foliar Line and the IPM Line. Athena Ag’s manufacturing process allows the company to control the quality of its products. This results in a high-quality, well-balanced product that’s both results-driven and cost-effective.
In addition to manufacturing quality products, Athena Ag also conducts a lot of research in the grow rooms. This enables the company to provide the most up-to-date knowledge based on testing and research. Athena Ag passes this knowledge onto other growers through its Facility Advisor Program. This is a one-of-a-kind service that no other nutrient line offers.
The team of facility advisors is composed of experienced growers who have used the products in their personal gardens.
They have also implemented the Athena Program in the facilities they consult for and proven its efficacy. In addition to the product lines, they also have firsthand knowledge of irrigation strategy, EC stacking, IPM, and overall facility standard operating procedures.
Athena Ag’s Facility Advisor Program offers an added service at no charge for commercial growers and licensed producers. The program is meant to help growers succeed in cannabis cultivation and create a lasting change in the industry.
The company works with cannabis cultivators from all parts of the world. Its network has growers doing both indoor and greenhouse cultivation with sizes ranging from one light to thousands of lights.
In 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic interrupted the logistics and supply of Athena Ag to customers. Most of the raw materials used in the nutrient lines come from other countries, and that difficult period had most countries on lockdown.
To avoid that and ensure consistent and reliable supply in the future, Athena Ag is working on new automated blending and packaging machines. These will increase the production capacity and help the company serve its customers more efficiently.
