is this what it looks like when you val melts?

Yes i dose excel, but only half does...

is there anything i can do or is it doomed?
 
Yup, that's what it would look like....I don't know what causes it, I've had it happen too, but mine has rebounced and sent out a runner producing 5 new plants now. Don't really know what to do about it though, might be a lighting issue....mine melted after I did a major pruning of other plants.
 
Your options are to keep up the Excel dosing and hope that the Vals adjust or to stop dosing Excel. If you decide to keep dosing Excel, you may want to give them a break to recover and/or drop back to an even smaller dose and then work back up to a higher dose slowly.
