Ah, the bird in handā¦
Get a pack of NL5xHz in the ground and find that Strawberry Cough!
āThe proof is in the seedā

This goes more to the point of the fem seeds In my opinion.
NL5XHAZE in musashi's mind, a prized pheno is strawberry cough. While I personally am looking for more/better (Which we all know is subjective). Being as we'll find phenos all over the place in Shantibaba's crosses, people are almost guaranteed to find something they like. The question still remains though, as to what Scott sees as the pinnacle of each cross.
I get the whole instant gratification and easier to knock off his work arguments, but who's to say we'll share the same opinion with Scott/Shanti? And remember this is the marijuana biz. Everyone who makes something worthwhile gets knocked off. Companies made their name just by crossing widow to other strains for sometime back in the day. Nothing new.
What I find great in NL5XHAZE might be closer to what he intended for afghanxhaze. Or it could even be viewed as some midgrade off pheno by him, who knows?
I'm fairly certain we don't share the same opinions in the taste department. Last joint I read about Shanti burning, had 2 different types of weed 3 different types of hash and all dipped in oil. Why even bother with the weed at this point? I'm sure he couldn't taste it. I'd be surprised if he could even feel his face when he was done with that one.
I think you sativa lovers are afraid he'd release some fem seed of your prized 15 week haze. A plant that does all that and more in 8 weeks. Then to witness some noobie grower be on the forum like " first grow, winner winner chicken dinner!".
To me, these crosses are more like art. With whatever sample size we're given, we walk away with our own impression. Unlike the most famous artists, the creator of the gallery we continue to tour is still alive. It'd be great to get his interpretation (even if just a write up on his harem).
