Heat stress of some sort likely. Maybe focused heat causing slight stress. Maybe slight fluctuation in soil pH. Need more info. Depending how close your lights are you may have to move them up a bit. Might just be a bit to much light intensity
 
Not 2 sure what to add ph is 5.8 - 6.1 ec 1200 just turned on my auto system few days ago but it seems to happen 2-3 hours before light off during day no tacoing and I’m using a 600W hps at 2ft away temps don’t go over 28
 
Your plants are transpiring to much that's why they taco. Some strains are more sensitive to intense light. 24 inch away for the light is typically good but nothing is cut and dry. Move the light up and see if it helps. It could also be no correlation and could just be that the plant is done for the day and is not transpiring the way it does during day because it knows it's gonna be lights out soon.

I've had plants where I can hang my LED inches away and other plants where I needed it a couple feet away. If this only occurs when the lights go out it doesn't seem like it could be much of anything else. Maybe mist your plants a bit in conjunction with the humidifier. Might also be hands to have a thermal laser gun to see if you have any hot spots in the tent.

Much appreciated for real I’m gunna take it up to the top see how it goes I see a lot of people hanging there hps right at the top so hopefully it’s not stressing em out
 
Since you say they only taco right before the dark time I’m gonna say it’s gotta be light related. So reduce the on time by a couple hours or reduce the light intensity by 20%, or raise the lights.

I've been hanging my LEDs right at the top. Mostly because I have a tad bit too much light for my tent anyway but you get the idea.
