Le squid said it, flush her and the lime should kick in as well.
 
GBW, sometimes plants just aren't healthy and you have to ride it out. My AKR has had similar issues for weeks now, and my pH has been perfect. Some extra calmag and bloom nutes has helped a bit, but the fan leaves continue to slowly die off. My other plants have not had any of the issues, so I know it's not environmental. And AKR is known to be a temperamental strain anyway, & you can find lots of grow journals where people chased problems from beginning to end. I would suggest giving the lime some more time to work, since you can cause a calmag toxicity if you keep adding more and more. If you're around day 50 then you've got plenty of fan leaves to get you through to the end. Just remove them after they die off and let the plant flower as best it can. Not every plant & grow will be perfect with maximum yield, but that doesn't mean you won't get some primo meds out of it.
 
one more thing..am i NOT supposed to be getting my buds wet? ive been giving them a healthy foliar spray of RO'd water almost daily before their nap..thought it was actually doing some good. i def dont want bud rot, but i thought that basically only happened when two buds are constantly rubbing against each other..
 
oh yeah, and andy + everyone else involved here...thank you all so much for the help-it means the absolute world to me. sometimes i just need people to tell me to chill the "f" out..haha ill get through this, and everything will be just fine im sure.

Damn, really? That probably can't be too good. Especially right before dark. You gotta shake that shit off so the buds don't rot. I hope you're all good.

No, spraying the buds won't do anything but invite problems. I don't spray my plants ever when they're flowering unless it's an emergency foliar treatment or I have major low humidity issues. Not worth the risk. If you do need to spray, I'd recommend holding something like a newspaper in front of the buds to keep the water only on the leaves.
 
Second everything Andy has told
You. After about 2
Weeks of flowering you should refrain from staying any liquid on your plant. Chalk it
Up as a temperamental strain. Keep feeding PHd water and allow time for the lime to do it's job. Have you flushed her yet during the grow? Salt build up can make your Ph low and hard to get
Up without a good flush of water. I do a flush on my
Plants after veg before flowering to clean the soil and roots and get my
pH perfect before I start hammering them with bloom nutes. Chin up bro. No one can say your not trying.
 
I agree, you've been doing great and have a good attitude. Just rack it up to a 'live and learn', shit happens, you weren't aware, big whoop. Been there, and you just gotta bust out the wood works stronger. Because now you know. It'll all pan out, dude.
 
damn. well i wont be doing that anymore. i really hope i havent caused any severe damage. ive got really good air movement in there so hopefully nothing bad has happened. everytime they get up from their nap everything looks real dry, ill turn the fans up a notch to help the cause..man all that stress got me exausted. i just passed out for a couple hours, and man did i need it. haha.
