This Is My First Time Growing And I Am Not Sure If I Am Doing Ok. I Have Two Plants That I Have Been Growing For About 3 Months And 1 For About 1 Month. The Older One Are Very Tall But Not Too Bushy. Am I Doing Sumthing Wrong?? How Do I Get The Bushier?? I Have Them In A Closet With A Aquarium Light On The Side And 2 Light Bulbs On Top One Is A Regular Light 60 Bulb And The Other Is A 75. What Should I Do???
Advice Please!!

I think you have a couple of things going wrong there.
1. the type of light, which would also speak to light spectum.
2. the distance the light is from the plants.
3. The amount of light(s)
4. Yes those are kind of tall but node length isn't THAT bad.
There is a chance if corrected your lighting issue you cpuld save one... or at the very least experiment. Top the plant, clone it, and then see what happens with the grow... i would keep in mind though, that when you get better light you'll get a host of other problems, namely heat and venting. Good luck.

Us CFL's for a quick fix you can buy HID lights online a small HPS or MH light is not too expensive and will pay off in the long run you can find those at home depot or online for larger lights.
