Seeds come out naturaly and are winter hard. I let thé motherplants dry out and let thé seeds germinate on thé plant or on thé ground. Seeds that germinate on thé plant i put them in a just spot. Other old plants i lay on thé ground to let germinate thé seeds. I use different strains. And have been growing for abouth 30 years. I produce own strains and every year i cross different strains. From northernligt Hollandsglorie haze cush afgan and auto but auto does not work so good. Sometimes i have two harverts a year. But growing outdoor has also many risks.
