advice desperately needed

My brother is diagnosed with a brain tumor. after reading much success about oil we decided to try an aeroponic set up because the sooner we can harvest the better chances we have. I also have 3 plants in soil as back up but unfortunately they are not feminized and don't think 3 plants would be enough oil anyway.

I'm at your mercy, please don't skim over, I want to thoroughly explain my situation clearly. And hope you can help.

(2.5 week old seedlings in diy aeroponics) I fought of very beginning stages of root rot by dipping all six of my plants roots Into 1/2 cup of 3% h202 mixed with 1 gallon of water for 2 minutes. Then transferred to a temporary root spa with a 60 gal bubble stone and 1/4 cup of h202 to 1 gal of water ratio.

I soaked them for 2 hours while thoroughly cleaning aeroponc table. Unfortunately my temporary home didnt hold up so well so at one point all 6 plants were fully submerged for a couple minutes until I realized they fell to the bottom. I rinsed them off (leaves and all) under non ph'd water. Didn't ph it because I was scared and panicked thinking it was going to kill my leaves.

I then put them back in there newly cleaned home with only ph'd 5.8 water for an 30 min Then added 380 ppms of gh 3 part and diamond nector. I started off at 200 and worked my way up to 380 the past couple days. But I've always had a problem with bottom leaves being yellow from start.

To make matters worse as if it wasn't stressed enough, I accidentally ran this new clean fresh solution at 4.7 ph for 2 1/2 hours. I raised it back up to 5.8 with tap water and kept my ppms at 380 by adding more nutes. I also added DM zone to prevent root rot.

Later that night those yellow leaves twisted up and turned straight brown and crispy ( where h202 ate slightly spotted leaves after sinking in the tub) so I cut them off. Its been over 34 hours and its still droopy maybe worse and struggling and lower leaves are getting yellower.

GH says to run nutes at 3 -400 ppms for first week seedlings. Im at 380 ppms (not including 140 from the tap)

Is it nute lock?
Feed it more?
Less?
Foiler feed? If so I have my gh nutrients and also dutch master nutrients including silica/liquid light/penitrator any tips on a recipe with these? .

My gut says leave it be, but I just want to know if I can help it along. My brother cant afford to loose these plants. The oil may not help at all, it may buy him 1 week, maybe more. Regardless it upped hos spirits and is giving him hope. I just hope I dont ruin that. Do you think they will survive? Im very appreciative.

Thanks guys. And yes, simpsons oil is our plain of attack. The plants don't look any better today, not at all. Honestly the look way worse in person then the pictures. I just wonder how long I should give it before I try a foiler feed or something.

On the bright side 2 of my non feminized plants have shown female pre flowers. 20140720_145323.jpg
They were decent mids, bag seed I used to test out the aeroponics. I grew them to about 8 inches tall then transferred them to soil when my good beans come in. I've been lsting the shit out of them so the aero plants would catch up and have an even canopy. But with there health issues, i'm not sure if they will ever catch up.

I've grown for 10 years in soil and my first go at the aeroponic system went great, my only problem was the root rot. Now that thats under control I think It should be good. I have made oil from 2 ounces I bought and seems to help big time. We just cant afford to keep going that route.
