I had pretty good luck with the plant that was started by god, and she produced a little over 6 ounces of nice little buds, now I have a new question, I had quite a few seeds given to me by a friend, and want to start a new grow, I still want to grow outdoors and am curious about the procedure, do I need to germinate the seeds until they sprout before planting in pots or soil, or can I just plant directly in the soil, someone told me to soak the seeds in a glass of water for a few days, is that an acceptable way of starting them? or what are my best options, please advise, again I am a really true to the word amateur, any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance
