Grow height

Hey guys,
I'm a beginner grower, i did usually play around with plants outside to see what happens when etc.... had only once harvested outside and barely anything (Northern Light by Nirvana, the tastiest and best high i ever had).
recently i began growing under LED's, bought few units from ali, 1200w, 600w and 75w. (thats what they said...)
my first harvest with LED's was a first real harvest that gave me something for a month, but the plants were so short, and right now i got 2 more at flowering stage, they are really short, i did fimming and they just become bushy and dont really grow anymore up, i must be doing something wrong.
the 75w is in the grow tent which is around 100x100x170, frow what i can see but didnt test yet the 75w does make them grow but i dont know yet if its actually enough, you can fit 4x 7 gallon smart pots in there and i know this tent is really for only 1 pot. i grow 2 pots in there at a time and plan to try 1 at a time.
my flower room on the other side is kinda too big for 2 pots, its like half outdoor half indoor, got the outside air without the outside light, i run 1200w on 1 plant, and 600w on another plant, they are close to each other though.
the area is covered in that reflective film but i do think its way too big, its like 200x200x170.
i use 7 gallon pots and the plants stay really short but bushy, i usually move them after around 2 months in veg.
they get nutes, not the best ones but thats what we got here, i usually use biobizz Grow/Bloom/Top-max, and also using Advanced nutes bud factor x, didnt buy them, got them from a friend and i just go with it.
so i would really appreciate any kind of help, i learn by myself and just try whatever there is.
ask me anything if i missed some important information.
btw both plants that are flowering are random females from nirvana.
in the veg i got Jack 47 fast version forgot by who, and Blue Dream.
 
75 watt sounds too low for that size of space. I'd want at least 150 watt on one plant for the first week then I'd switch to a higher wattage.
Pics would be great. Pics of your lights and plants. What color spectrum are you using ?

im planing on moving the 600 into the tent, and i have no idea about color spectrum, the 1200w has 4 COB LED's and the 600w has 2 COB units on it. ill try to check the sale page to see what info i can pull out from it soon.
 
How far are they from the light .led light is intense . Try keeping the lights a bit further

sorry for the late reply.
it seems im lacking in height in the flower room, i would say max they can go (from the floor) is 3.9 ft and in the tent it goes to around 5 ft height.

Got few pics of one of the plants I'm about to harvest, strain unknown, seeds came from Nirvana seeds (those random free seeds are more than a year old and they all sprout), smells like bubblegum though so I'm thinking its Bubblelicious but not sure yet.

the leaves and buds do have hints of purple, i do think it caused by cold, my flowering room is not sealed and its basically an indoor "room" with outside climates, it is cold here right now.
