White Russian & Blue Cheese review, plus strain selection for next grow?

Okay so i am looking for 2 new strains to add to my collection i already have these seeds, i just completed my first grow consisting of 1 serious seeds White Russian and 1 barneys farm blue cheese, i took a clone of each of them and will be growing them along side the 2 new strains so i will have a total of 4 plants in SCROG, here is a link to the grow, https://www.rollitup.org/grow-journals/559980-my-first-grow-400-watt.html .
I am very concerned about height because i am scroging and most of these seeds sound like they get pretty tall, but i am also getting some conflicting information about some of them so i was wondering if anyone could shed some light on any of these strains for me. These are the seeds i have to choose from, World of Seeds Medical Collection Northern Lights x Big Bud, Eva Seeds Veneno (Poison), G13 Blueberry Gum, Dinafem Seeds Moby Dick, Dinafem Seeds OG Kush, T H Seeds MK Ultra, TH Seeds Burmese Kush.

Okay now for the review on the 2 that i just harvested, the smoke report on the White Russian will have to wait because it is still in the process of drying, as far as the grow went the White Russian did phenomenally well it seemed to me to be a very robust hearty plant that never looked sad even in the face of some pretty high PH it didn't flinch, the blue cheese on the other hand seemed to me to be a pretty fussy plant, it always seemed like there was something wrong with it, i am sure there could have been something wrong with it as this was my first grow but the White Russian seemed to take it better than the Blue Cheese. The White Russian was pretty short i flowered them a few weeks after it hit the screen because i thought i was having some odor problems it didn't stretch that much at all so i didn't have to tuck it under much i did super crop the plants a few times because i was moving them in and out of the scrog crates i built i also topped both of the plants enough times to give them 8 tops each, the blue cheese stretched significantly more than the White Russian By the time my grow was over i had a tangled mess of branches down there. As far as the buds go i am still waiting on a yield from the White Russian but the Blue cheese yield is in, the blue cheese yielded 53.92 grams and 46.5 grams of that was water cured so it would have been a bit more had i air dried it all, the thing i dislike the most about this plant is how leafy it was there were so many leaves and the buds were all pretty damn small compared to my White Russian i am guessing they are what would be called pop corn buds, the White Russians buds are pretty beefy compared to the Blue Cheese they were also a lot less leafy and easier to manicure. I harvested the Blue Cheese at 55 days flowering i was probably a bit early but i wanted some wake and bake smoke so i harvested when the trichromes were mostly cloudy, the White Russian i harvested at 65 days flowering when it was mostly amber, look at the difference i'm pretty sure i got quite a bit more off the White Russian

As far as the smoke goes the Blue Cheese that i air dried has a wonderful sweet blue berry flavor and is quite potent, as far as the White Russian goes i have only smoked the scissor hash and that almost sent me running to the hospital lol, https://www.rollitup.org/toke-n-talk/593083-i-think-i-just-peaked.html .

[Edit] Also i forgot to mention i believe i might have had a magnesium deficiency threw out my grow because all of my fan leaves were pretty small, so this could have effected my yield i watered with RO water for most of it and didn't supplement with epsom salts that often because i did not know how much it was safe to use, and topping the Blue Cheese to many times could have effected the final yield.

My sugar leaves were yellowing in the end i though that seemed odd.

Alright so i believe the final weight is in on the White Russian 94.93 grams, my Blue Cheese yielded 53.92 grams most of which was water cured so that makes the total weight for my grow 5.31 o/z not as much as i was hoping for but hey not half bad for my first grow i pulled 0.37 grams per watt, i also lost some weight on the water cure by my math i figure i lost 16 grams from the total yield of the blue cheese by water curing it, so i would have pulled 5.88 o/z or 0.41 grams per watt had i not water cured. I believe a lot of factors came into play with this lower than expected yield, i believe i had a magnesium deficiency, all of my fan leaves were pretty small also my sugar leaves started yellowing in the end, i only had 2 feet by 4 feet of canopy space and from what i understand a 400 watt hps should be able to adequately cover a 4 x 4 foot canopy, i also don't think i kept my light close enough for most of the grow i had it at 12 inch's just to be safe and it is air cooled so i believe i could have gotten it a lot closer.

I may not have gotten as much as i wanted out of this first grow but that is fine with me, i have gained quite a bit of valuable information from it and i intend to improve a lot of things on my upcoming grow, also had i had 2 clones of the better yielding White Russian plant i figure i would have gotten 6.78 o/z or 0.47 grams per watt.

I just wanted to come back on a few things I've realized months later, all though i don't like the taste of the water cured blue cheese it seems to me that the water cured blue cheese has held up quite a bit better over time, it seems like it has quite a bit more moisture in it than the air dried plants, its been almost 4 months since i harvested and my blue cheese that i water cured seems a lot denser and a lot less dry the white russian i air dried burns up quick as shit and the blue cheese burns a lot slower... Also i believe i made some comments about the blue cheese not being up to par with the white russian and i must say i was wrong about that the blue cheese is quite potent it just seemed less potent when i had the white russian to smoke now that the white russian is mostly gone my tolerance has dropped and the blue cheese is still quite potent...

are they from lucky 7??

I love Blue Cheese (BF) I kept one for 3 years over,

Them you listed Id pick THseeds MK Ultra, Dinafems OG.


Yield with Blue Cheese depends on the roots, its the blueberry it slows it down
