So currently I have two plants in a mix of cococoir(about 40% ish) and miracle grow indoor potting soil without the added nutrients, pearlite, and a few shakes if the miracle grow general plant food. One plant is really darkly colored and one is really lightly colored. the darker colored one is slightly taller than the lightly colored one and the darker colored one is dropping a bit. The leaves on the bottom of both of them are just colored slightly. Pics to come soon.

What strain is this?
How wet is your soil? feeding frequency?
What nutes are you feeding? (ppm?,...ph?)
What lighting are you using?...light height?
When did this suddenly start?
Both plants reacting the same right now?
What do the top leaves look like?

Well the top leaves of one is fine, a little droopy maybe, the darker one, and the lighter one has really light bottom leaves and the top ones are just sorta light, u can see the pictures. They have the miracle grow shake feed like I said earlier, about like two shakes per plant mixed evenly with the soil mixture. I'm using three LED lights, two 400w red and 1 1000w white grow light. I have no idea what strains it is, it was an autofem tho as that's what they sent, mixed bag or sorts.

My advice for what its worth.
If you plan on taking growing seriously. (not haphazard results).
Get yourself an EC pen and a PH pen.
These two tools will cost you about $30 total.
They allow you to know what you're feeding your plants (either too little, or too much).
And the PH pen lets you know if your water ph is in the right zone for nutes to be absorbed.
If you were over feeding, the leaves would show signs of burning, which I don't see.
So pump up the nutes per feeding.
Keep an eye on the amount of water you're giving them.
Lift the pot to evaluate.
Most Auto's aren't too happy having wet feet.
If anything, they prefer being very dry (beyond what we would think is ok).
(Fill a similar pot with the same amount of soil, lift dry to see how much it weighs).
Look at the plants they will let you know they want water.
I see your plants are in flower, so I'd prefer over feeding and correct for burn, than to have them starve.
Concerning your lights...
I'm not familiar with your lights, but are they too close or too far.
If they were too close, the tops would be burning. too far and the plant stops growing.
The light to nute connection is that,...if the light amount is good, but not enough nutes for proper photosynthesis....the plant starves.
I regret not being of more assistance than what I'm proposing.
But you need to start measuring what your feeding before evaluating what proper corrective action is required.
What state are the plants in since you last posted?
