needn just a quick tip

Hi all! Im new to forums, and yes, ive read most of the FAQs and main articles, but heres my thing, or should i say- my problem...

I started to grow in my basement 2 months ago, and my garden still isnt fully done, but hey, im not swimming in money


Heres the deal:

- temp of the basement is about 22c - 26c (night/day)
- humidity: 65-85%! (i beleve its too big sometimes, mostly its around 75%) -planing to buy small heater that will increse the temp and remove humidity (its old basement after all)
- Im using BIOBIZZ 100% organic fertilizers (bio grow & bio heaven atm-grow cycle + homemade organic tea)
- Plants are in soil mix (bought in local store) + i added perlites to it so the roots can brethe...
- lighting is 12x 18w flo lamp (6x day light, 6x blue light) + 2 lamps of 100w to generate heat and bring some "yelowish-redish" spectrum. Timer set to 18h of light.

Im starting to worry cus my "children" are bit too long and dont grow bushy!
Maybe the reason is cus they are in small pots 1.5L (matter of days til i re-plant them in bigger pots)

+ the main problem is that some/most of lower leaves is turing yelow, and looking like they are dying- when i touch lower branches they just drop off!
I took down the lower leaves/ branches, and for now it stopped going up for the plant...
Also, i noticed few plants have "dots" on their main fan leaves- shown in pics...

Here are some pics of how it all looks:

The garden looks healthy overall and your doing good for a beginner all the way , but with that said a little constructive criticism is going to help you in the long haul . And to begin at the top , the lighting is not sufficient for plants this size
Your lamps are a few feet too high as they will not penetrate beyond a few feet , they stretching for the light . As well Cannabis tendsto grow bushier when grown in wider pots and the plants shown in the small containers are very rootbound ..

Have a great grow but realize these will double on average once flowered out

Trim the bottoms so all the energy is foused on the upper parts, is it a sativa?it looks like one

dots could be bugs, deficiency.. Ph...

70% of the plants are just few cm from the lamps, and total ammount of lumens produced by this light setup is about 27-30k . im also building "bud room" next to it and i ordered HPS 600w lamp for it + il add 2x flo "blue" just to bring more natural spectrum of colour.... what do you think?

TNX A LOT!!
