I'll offer this friendly amendment, the natural distribution of female to male seeds is more 65/35. Nature tends to place a premium on females, and that's not just in cannabis.

I like your style man.
I have a Puffco and a Volcano with the same intention of having "gourmet" options of smoking. To treat oneself to these is a privilege of age of sorts I suppose.
At the same time I find a simple beaker bong with some nice flower is hard for me to beat.
