Got some sickly neglected clones

Hello all, I need a lil help

I received 4 clones that my sister got from somebody and when I got them they were very pale green and a lot of the leaves were quite crispy. I am not entirely sure what the deal was with them. They l am assuming were starved for nutes and probably hadn't had any real light. They look like the guy was over his plant count and had tossed them aside until he gave them to my sis, they are rooted.

I hit em with 1/2 strength nutes and tossed em under my 8 - 4ft T5 fixture and I have managed to keep 3 of them alive though very stunted, 3 are Purple Coal Trinity and one is Grunk (Grape Ape X Skunk), is it possible that they could regain their vigor and possibly could come back be a viable mother plants or is the damage done? If so what can I do to get them to come back?

Not sure I can get another cut because my sister sent in her caregiver change request to change it from them to me. These are strains that I would like to continue to grow.....at least the P.C.T as it is my sisters favorite strain and a super dank clone only strain, Purple pheno of a 3 way hybrid of strains from the emerald triangle in Cali I believe or something purple crossed with the trinity, I wish I could find some info on the actual strains used.

Thanks in Advance +rep fer helpin

be nice and gentle to them and they might come back, mj is a pretty resiliant plant.

sickly small clones make sickly small mature plants

i think you've done all you can for now. just give 'em some TLC. I just went through the same thing with a jamaican skunk clone. it rode around in the bed of a pick up for two days so when i got it, it was pretty damaged. i did the same what u did except instead fo nutes i used my clonex mixed with water and fed that for 4 days. they came back.

Right on thanks for the responses. I think the ones that have made it this far are going to live. I hit them with some Superthrive and they look like there is some new growth on them but no improvement on the existing leaves, I think they are just too far gone. I think there is still some photosynthesis goin on on those leave but I'm pretty sure those leaves will never get nice and green again. When I got them the stems were very "woody" and they seem to be a bit softer now.

My biggest concern is if they will ever regain thier vigor and be suitable to take clones from even if it takes a long time. I have never let a clone or a plant get like that, I have been pretty fortunate and haven't really had a whole lot of sick plants or pest infestations in the few years I have been growing (knock on wood) so I don't know if they will always be stunted because of this and her clones will show signs of permanent genetic damage or what. How does that work.....where are the super botanists that understand it to that level? I would think that once solid photosynthesis starts taking place at a normal rate cell regeneration will go back to normal and her clones will be like the mother that these were taken from......am I wrong? Lol am I making any sense?
