Crumpled plants! Trying not to let them die

Ok, so first off, I had a problem that started weeks back that many of the plants are still recovering from. I was using cutting edge solutions for the first time and I didn't realize that micro/bloom are supposed to be used for veg as well. This thread http://www.thcfarmer.com/forums/f57/nute-burn-turned-nute-deficiency-after-adjustment-44026/ + https://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?p=4894262#post4894262 shows pictures and has a description of that problem. I've been using all 3 parts of CES now and most of the plants are starting to show signs of better health, but two plants have been worsening and I want to make sure that I do everything I can to prevent them from dying. They definitely have been suffering from some big deficiencies (
Phosphorus/calcium/magnesium/micro nutrients), but they're not bouncing back like the other smaller plants are. I'm using one reservoir for the whole room, but the plants vary in size and health so I'm also considering using a different reservoir for the plants that're a bit smaller/catching up. Any help/advice you guys can offer would be most appreciated!! =D

cant really add anything as i dont grow in hydroponics. but just wanted to say i hope they recover. some tlc, time and hope is you really can do
 
How do the roots look? They should be a pure milky white. If any brown or tan is present put a tsp per gallon of Hydrogen peroxide in your reservoir. Also all that dead vegetation needs to be pruned. You should see a fairly quick and relatively large difference by removing dead and badly damaged vegetation. When the plants recover, they do so mainly by growing new vegetation. In your case instead of the plant putting a majority of its' energy into growing and recovering, it's wasting all that energy trying to support a system of dead vegetation. Hope this helps!
 
Also adding 1/4 strength nutes high in P and K (basically bloom nutes) will help out a lot with growing the root system. Also adding something like Aquastim available from Stein Gardens & Gifts or some type of liquid kelp will really help with root development. Remember, as with all forms of growing, you're growing the roots and that's where you should concentrate. If you grow a nice large mass of healthy roots, the rest of the plant will follow. :)

Yeah me too. There's a point when you gotta realize the time and effort and money to save a plant isn't worth it. Start new seeds/clones and toss them.

Hate to say it man, but honestly... just toss it and start fresh. The time you will spend trying to repair her will not be worth it.
