You can try to take your plants outside and literally wash them with the water hose. That way whatever chemicals are on your leaves will wash off. I spray plants for a living and I've seen what happens when you get the wrong chemical on your plants. Even residual deposits in your sprayer tank can kill a crop. It's not practical to rinse off two acres of a chemically burned crop so I don't know what would happen but it might work for your few plants.

P.S. -- I'm not 100% sure but I don't think 217 is a systemic pesticide. That means the chemical only stays on the surface instead of being absorbed by the plant therefore washing it with the water hose might have good results. However if 217 IS systemic then you might be screwed. Flushing might help get rid of a systemic pesticide, especially in a hydroponics system.

SNS 217 is not a"chemical" at all... its main active ingredient is pure rosemary oil extract, mixed with water, Polyglyceryl oleate, & lauric acid & it does not leave a chemical residue, they promote it being safe to use on edible crops. It is 100% organic.
from their site:
Uses
SNS-217 Spider Mite Control can be used on a wide variety of plants, vegetables, and even trees. When applying the product take caution not to spray any buds on the plant, in doing so this could result in burning the buds sprayed. SNS-217 Spider Mite Control can be sprayed on fruits, vegetables, and plants varying from; apples, apricots, beets, broccoli, cabbage, carrots, cauliflower, celery, cherries, chives, corn, cucumbers, peppers, tomatoes, parsley, fuchsia, roses, flowers, houseplants, etc.
SNS-217 is fully bio-degradable and is not toxic to animals and under directed normal use, should not affect the plant's metabolism.
It specifically says not to spray on "BUDS" (flowers) but.... if you spray everything right before lights off, DO NOT use a "wetting agent" & make sure to hit the undersides of the leaves, then respray with fresh water after 12 hrs, at lights on, turn your oscillating fans on after spraying fresh water to help evaporate what you've just sprayed
This should avoid most if not ALL flower & leaf burn. (next time)

Also, being a highly volatile natural oil, oil of Rosemary has a half life of only 3 days...Totally safe to use in flower. SNS 217 is a solution containing 2% Rosemary oil, Surfacant to aid in coating the plant parts (like Wet Betty) and plain old RO water...I made my own and it's about 20 times cheaper than buying the SNS 217 in its ready to spray form. A 4 o/z bottle of oil of Rosemary is only $18 down at our local health food store. To make the shit up I fill my spray bottle up w/ 25 o/z of RO water, 2 teaspoons of Rosemary oil & 3ml of Wet Betty...A couple few drops of diswahsing detergent will work as an emulsifier if you don't alraedy have Wet Betty or want to buy it (I only have it cuz I spray a lot of plants w/different stuff.)
First time I used it, it burnt some bud leaves ; it showed the next day even though I sprayed w/ the lights off & let the plants dry before turning the lights back on...But I found, like Treesniper recommended, rinsing em' down w/ a spray bottle after 12 hours keeps em from burning. I actually rinse them down w/ Serenade organic mildewcide/ fungicide if I'm past week 3 of flower so I don't get powdery mildew or Botryitus, but that's another story...Still, ya gotta be careful getting buds far into flower wet; unless yer spraying a mildewcide/ fungicide right after. Serenade only has a half life of a week; Ed Rosenthal claims he harvested once after 4 days after spraying Serenade; no problem.
It smells like shit when you spray Serenade; but breaks down within a week to where there's no smell or nuthin. It's a special bacteria that eats PM & Botryitus, then dies off on it's own; awesome shit. Has saved me from powdery mildew many times.
