lost!!

Alright so I have looked around and can't really figure out my problem. I am experiencing heavy yellowing of leaves mainly at the very base of the plant but its growing and spreading. New growth is quite healthy. I am about 3 weeks into 12/12 am using biobizz light mix with added garden lime to raise ph and add cal/mag. My ph is currently 6.7-6.8. Plants are getting bio grow and bio bloom
I'm giving about 5 ml each per gallon of water.

I'm under about 220 watts cfl 2 plants. Strains are Wembley and Pinneapple chunk. Temps are about 82 daytime 25-45 percent humidity has been the average. I'm also using tap water left out overnight. The ph is roughly 6.7 after left out. I can't figure this out I feel like I'm giving them everything they need but they are telling me otherwise. Any help is appreciated. Will get a pic up momentarily.

Re-host to someplace else like Photobucket first, then just link to there. Dispoable PB accounts are good for this sort of thing.

Without picts my guess would be lighting. CFL's cannot penetrate very far into the foliage. How large are they?
Do you let the medium (soil) dry out befor watering again?

Sounds to me that its either in a pot too small (repot) in turn causing moisture stress or the soil quality is poor.

If pot size can cause this I wouldn't be surprised they are only 9 inch pots. I am working with a very limited space so I was trying to keep everything small. Ill try photo bucket. Give me a few mins.

ok i have a link with some pics thanks psari. there is a pic to show the plants in their entirety, dont mind the light burns on the tops im well aware of those a light fell out 3 weeks ago and i have since rigged it not to happen again. there are a couple of close up leaves that are just showing signs of what im talking about, a shot of the stem where there are a bunch of dead leaves that only happend in the last 2 days. i have about 5-6 inches from the top of the pots to the screen and then only about another 12-16 inches of space when lights are at their highest possible point so i feel like im using about the optimal size pots for my environment. is this something that im just going to have to deal with this grow? i originally only wanted to veg for about 3-4 weeks but i had to wait and it vegged for about 5 weeks.

The lights are 4-42 watters and 2 55 watters i beleive.. actual watts mind you. its a scrog set up so most of the plant gets pretts sufficient lighting except the very bottom.

Flowering and eating leaves for nutes possible. I always lose that tiny stuff near the base.

I had this happen to me with my SLH plant, everything on the lower half started turning yellow but the new bud growth looked fantastic. After much research I concluded it was somewhat normal due to the plant feeding upon itself. IMO it didnt affect the rest of the plant in any way that i could see...so...i didnt fret about it. I just waited till the leaves just pulled off easily, threw them away.

I was mostly concerned because its only week 3 of flower and there is a long way to go. I feel like its early for leaves to be dying off. But if this really isn't a sign of a deficiency or something then there's probably little I can do.

Also I should note I have a la diva auto in a dif box but with the same soil mix and cfl as well. It started off extremely small and slow but when I repotted it recovered well and it has NO yellowing and is in week 6 or so flower. So I was confused why wembley and pc are yellowing and not la diva.

Anyone with any other thoughts before I take down the pb pics?
