This all started after installing a 6" fan in the ceiling and I ran the duct through the roof vent to help keep the smell out of the house.I believe the fan was 470cfm. Also have a box fan blowing air on her

Mmm if they aren't getting any worse I'd just feed water for a week are you spraying them with ferts or bloom boosters by any chance they kindy look like they've been orerdosed on p.k.

Your pictures now show some recovery from the "root shock" and that's good...
Hmm,,,,I've sat back and watched this thread awhile, guess I'll interject here.
Coco choir needs to be conditioned before use.
Coco holds between 5-8 times it's own weight in water and the fiber holds nutrients and "buffers" nutrient swings......
Coco also pH's between 5.8 and 6.4 a real good starting range.
Coco is a source of potassium, iron, manganese, zinc and copper, which it releases gradually.
Due to the above traits, like getting a nutrient "salt" build up. You need to "wash" the pot around every 2-3 weeks...
The coco being a source for a macro nutrient and micro nutrients, means care must be taken in the "feeding" of the plant to offset this fact.....That's why the BEST synthetic nutrient manufactures make a Coco specific formula....Like Hesi and Canna...
You should water only when needed and always at lights on.
Coco is a fine medium to use but I find it as to much work. That's my opinion and we all know about "opinions" (lol) so doing whats good for you is only what matters on that.
Like I said it looks like your plants are recovering, watch the salt build up and water only when needed and you'll finish out ok...
Good luck

Awesome. I appreciate all advice and opinions. When you say "wash" you mean flush the soil with plain ph'd water correct? When I do this I just run a couple gallons of water through the soil and right out the bottom. Is this the correct way to be doing this? Should I feed immediately afterward or just wait until in needs watered again to feed. Thank you again for the advice.

YES, , , "flush". (Damn the differing terms) and your flushing method would be good for what you need here, and wait until it needs watering again to feed!
Good luck and grow on..
