While I wouldnt classify the strains Im going to mention as weak, they do have great smell, taste. And what I mainly will recommend is older genetics, from the 80s-90s, that have been well cared for/preserved genetically.
Especially for the money.
NWSun, on Strainly, has F2, of Crickets and Cicada Pacific Northwest Hashplant x Puck/NL1 BC1.
This is basically a preservation, of Nevils 80s Seed Bank Hashplant strain. But has an emphasis, on the Puck. The Puck, is a pheno, that was found in 1988, from a pack of Nevils Hashplant, that a guy nicknamed Skelly found. He bought the seeds in Holland, and sewed them into a sweater, and brought them to the USA. Puck, is also known as SKELLY. Same clone. Skelly/Puck, also has a sister, named Cuddlefish.
Nevil originally took the Pacific Northwest Hashplant clone, and crossed it to Northern Lights #1.
But Crickets and Cicada has basically brought back Nevils Hashplant. Both the PNWHP clone, and the Puck Clone, are 2 of the most sought after of all the Hashplant cuts. All this is top shelf stuff, and gives up nothing in the terpene/flavor department, to anything. Only thing is, it isnt a fast growing plant, and is a medium low producer. But, the end product is top shelf. Nevil said it was personal stash weed, or select clients.
C&C only released this one time. 3 years ago, and the only place to get it, is NWSun. That I know of anyway.
But at $45 a pack of 10, its hard to beat. I bought 2 packs, and he gave me a free pack. $100 for 30 seeds. Killer seeds. $100 included $10 Tracking/Shipping.
And while this stuff if potent, its not the type of weed that has you up looking out the windows, because you know the Martians, are spying on you. It is a heavy, fun, laid back buzz. But, it is potent.

Another good one is Crickets and Cicada Puck BC3. It is similar to the PNWHP x Puck/NL1 BC1, in that has almost exact genetics, it has been further concentrated/backcrossed to the Puck clone, and is trying to have more Puck phenos, vs the PNWHP x Puck/NL1, will have more diversity.
Another good one, with a great smell, and taste is Crickets and Cicada Skunk x Puck BC2. Male Puck BC2 x female 80s Skunk. Its NOT RKS, but the skunk that was used, was supposed to reek. Just not Skunk as what people think of. More catpiss.
The C&C stuff isnt cheap though. $125 a pack. Plus Shipping. JamesBeanCompany has the seeds.
For Bubblegum, Id get it from Fleur de Mal. They have the best representation. Its high terps, but, the right pheno, can be more potent, than what some may think. Its cheap too. Most anything Fleur de Mal has, is good.
Another good one, that is a big producer. Fast growing, great smell and taste is.
Relic Seeds-Super Silver Haze. Its a cross of the 1998 cup winning clone, and a 1st release of Mr Nice Super Silver Haze, right after Shanti left Greenhouse. This strain has fruit stripe gum phenos.

Its not cheap either.
