I calibrated my ppm and p.h. meter today and did a test on 0ppm r.o. water and got:
Fulvex at 3ml./gal. = 40ppm
CalMag+ at 3ml./gl. = 135ppm.
Fuvex and CalMag+ at 3 ml./gallon each = 175ppm
P.H. at 4.5 after adding Fulvex and CalMag+
6 drops of P.H. up from Botanicare brought P.H. to 7.2
PPM went from 175 to 183 after adding P.H. up.

LOL, no worries. Cal-Mag does work just fine. I do not disagree with that. And you are right, 2.5 ml is about max. Follow the label and you will most likely regret it. My point is this. Molasses is just more economical than Cal-Mag. And from my experience much more effective, especialy in soil. But it still works just fine in hydro. Thats all.

Adding anything organic to DWC solution is just asking for trouble unless it is formulated for hydro or broken down into a tea. Molasses is fine for soil but it more boosts the soil microbes(mycorrhizae) than anything else. The analogy of comparing humans to plants is perfect because plants are living organisms that live off the same vitamins and minerals as humans. Black Strap Molasses IS great for establishing soil microbes quickly, most microbe inoculation products contain BSM. As far as replacing Calmag with it especially in Hydro I would not. I don't know why people don't just ask around where they live and locate a drinkable natural spring and use the water. Its free, and has plenty of minerals especially cal and mag and is usually a ph of 7.0 or a little less. I know mine is. I add my nutes and my ph is a perfect 5.8 and does not fluctuate. Extremely stable. I rarely need ph up or down. Almost never!

I would imagine not as Lucas has over 200 ppm of calcium and 100 ppm of magnesium. What is the TDS of your tap water? However I would not recommend that anyone flush with straight RO water. If a plant had a butt using RO water for flush would be akin to shoving a water hose up its but. Lots, and lots of transpiration. Easy way to produce high humidity and moldy buds. But flushing is ludicrous anyway so if your gonna screw up and flush you might as well screw up royally.
