I have a question about humidity, I checked the gauge this morning and it read 99%, I changed the fan in the pic and checked the airflow with smoke, even with the really high humidity still felt dry on walls and floor, and I am hoping to prevent them drying green by not having the fan blowing directly on the leaves

Have you calibrated the hygrometer? My experience with these things is they are usually way off until calibrated. You can put it in a closed container with a cup of water with lots of salt mixed in. Do a search on calibrating hygrometers to get the right proportions. Leave it in overnight. The salt water should keep the humidity 70%.

Water softener salt?

That looks like the plants I have that are frenching with the narrow leaves, but mine just started and aren't as bad. Did you get much rain this season?
