The MOST you can add of hydrated lime is about 0.5 cups per cubic foot of soil, and 2.5 cups of dolomite lime per cubic foot of soil. Hydrated lime works instantly and lasts about 2 weeks. The dolomitic lime is long acting and will stay in the soil to help buffer it. That should raise it about 1 point. Which should be enough. I really wouldn't go over that amount.
Good luck man.
Would I be adding both of the limes to the same water? I'm new at this.
Also, after I add this stuff how would I be monitor the ph over the the next few day? If I were to be checking the run off I would be inviting over watering problems.

Yes both at the same time. You are just going to have to wait until you can water again. Just remember to ere of the side of less is more.

To be safe I would. And remember, what I gave you was an equation, gotta do a little math

I mean, it's kind of a double edged sword. We want to get the pH up as quickly as possible, but we don't want to go overboard and kill the plants.
Disclaimer, they're already pretty fucked up, were just trying to salvage what we can at this point.

I'm aware of that, I'm pretty good with math, thanks. Now is there a specific process of dissolving it in water or as easy as putting it in water and shake the shit out of it?

Slowly stir it in. It can take awhile, and the dolomite probably wont completely dissolve, and that's ok.

Ok Hawk, I mixed this shit to a little over half of what you said should be max, it looks like chocolate milk hope that's normal. Gonna let the stuff dissolve for a few more minutes then in it goes.

It appears as though I may be losing this battle, and I thought I was doing everything perfectly. 
The only thing I can think of is bad tap water with ppm of 124.
I'm gonna let these go until there's seemingly zero chance of getting better then gather any tiny buds. Man this is depressing.
