Help with pruning

Want to know if I have pruned these right had a few dead leaves an a few fan leaves hope I havent butchered it

Looks decent enough.

Also is this a healthy plant an root system appears to be brown because of coco but wen wipe it of roots are white

Why did you pull that plant up like that?

Thought I had root rot lol is it healthy?

Am a first time grower

Don't cut healthy fan leaves off of the plants. The leaves are what convert light into energy (photosynthesis). When you cut leaves off the plant, you're needlessly reducing its ability to generate energy for growth. The result will be less nutrient uptake, and much slower growth.

Theres still fan leaves on them

You should never pull your plants out of the pots unless you're transplanting. You've caused that plant great stress by doing that. We cant tell anything by the picture of it still covered in coco dust, but otherwise the plant just looks hungry imo.
As spek said, defoliation is counterproductive when it isnt needed. We trim trained bushy plants to allow more light to the parts of the plant we want. For example, I look at what branches look like they have a chance to grow up into the main canopy. When I cut leaves off, it's with the purpose of getting more light to those branches so they have a chance to grow too. From the look of your plant, you probably didnt need to do much at all, if any.

The one I pulled out are in 18l pots but can see roots coming through holes does this mean they are root bound?

Think of the fan leaves as the engine

This mean they need a bigger pot
