these two have been fed and bred exactly the same yet it seems the one on the right refuses to do much compared to the left one.. 
Slow growth on auto

Thanks! My mediums are 30% coco and the rest FFOF with a handful of castings in each

I'll be surprised if you don't run into problems with that mix.
Coco and soil have different pH requirements for proper nutrient uptake.
Coco is hydroponics and should stay wet and soil needs to go through a wet/dry cycle.
Good luck.

Well shit lol I heard this mix from someone online and went with it i guess that was a bad move, any mix suggestions going forward?

You could be ok......time will tell.
If you use coco.......either use 100% coco or mix it with perlite.......I like a 70/30 coco/perlite mix.
If you use soil.......peat moss and all that castings stuff along with perlite.
Most soil growers that use FFOF soil only mix in perlite for aeration and it feeds the plants for a month with just watering.
