I think were on much of the same wavelength actually. I don't mind bubblegum if it's blow you mind bubblegum that's got good bones to it. It's got to check several boxes, not just taste or potency, but density, producer, size, vigor, ease of grow, resistance, all those factors are big for me, because I'm not in a grow lab whereas I can control all the variables, I was a good old school plant that performs as I expect it too and produces reliable results.
I'm big on earth, spicy or otherwise "stinky" strains, one's that other people might reach over for one of the newer strains out there. Either that, or possibly something along those lines, but with some "exotic" I enjoy, such as GG#4, (a known indica) but still checking all those boxes.
I my mind, it's only Kushes that can reliably check every box on the list, (reliably) at least form this grower's perspective. I say, stick with the kushes, because mixing anything with them is always going to produce a superior product, for the most part.
. This puck was like 1/4 inch thick it was well over 100g once completed. This was years ago I still have about half left in my freezer, even though its dark it actually still tastes like Kush after all that time LOL 
pollen was only In The freezer for a couple months but only in a ziplock. Still some good smoke coming.
