Sorry about the incident, my vote is to keep it. You will know in the next couple weeks if she will make it. She looks good to me.

It looks very hungry to me. Not droopy like root rot.
Figure out what might be causing the "egg smell". Fixing that issue and it can be very possible to keep the plant going right through to a good harvest.
Let us know what the grow medium is. You mention coco but is there anything else added to it? Maybe someone else using the same sort of mix is familiar with the problem and can jump in with suggestions.

If it's just coco/perlite, you can make up a weak solution of H2O2 and flush it through - only needs to be 1-2%
It will sterilize the rootzone and give the roots a massive Oxygen boost
Also, you might consider using an enzyme product [eg Cannazyme] which will help to break down any dead roots/rotting material

I'm feeding her ec of 1.6 I'm afraid go higher on the yellowing lower leaves the tips are burnt so IDK wat else to do id like to flush her but I'm scared to because its bottom fed so salts are in top of medium I'll just wAsh all them in root zone
Ignoring the EC for a moment, how many ml of Micro/Bloom are you adding per Litre of water?
