How do you increase potency while flowering?

So I've been growing for a little bit now and got the growing under control and have been learning LST and have been doing good. The strains I've been growing are Cheese and Blue Dream. I'm using a 750 watt HPS with two duct fans pushing air in and one duct fan pulling air out. The temp stays between 75 & 85 degrees and the humidity is low. The Cheese comes out frosty and very good. The blue yields great but isn't strong at all. I was wondering if there is anything I can do to increase the potency of my blue dream. I currently have four in flower. Three are about 8 1/2 weeks into flower and one is two weeks into flowering. Any advice?
What seed bank is your blue dream from? I grew a blue dream strain from Humboldt seeds for a few grows and I have some great advice for you to increase its potency!

Throw it in the garbage and replace it with a new strain!!!

Whatever blue dream strain is out in cali that everyone loves so much, it was not the pheno I got. I popped five different seeds and they were all the same crap pheno.

Get yourself a chemdawg cross or Pakistan valley. Much higher thc.

OP
Are you using the same res for feeding all your plants? Do they all get the same amount each?
Is there any differences in leaf colour from the different strains?
I'm asking this because different strains use different amounts of feed and you maybe feeding your cheese to the required amount and underfeeding your blues (if the leaves are much lighter this will likely be the case).
when you say " if the leaves are much lighter" do you mean like a bright green?

Well one of the blue dreams that are flowering is the mother cause I'm done with it. I was reading and found some info saying that you can have 10 seeds of the same strain and they all will be different from one another. It said some of the deference's could be color, yield, potency etc. So I figured I would plant the rest of the seeds and take clones from them to flower. Figure out if its worth keeping
That's the phenotypes bro. Its like a big family. Some brother and sisters do really good and succeed. And others don't do so well.
I grew 4 plants of the same strain and 3 grew totally different. 1 had thick stems right nodes. The other had skinny branches long nodes. The other one produced rock hard nuggets, while the others were a little more fluffy.
