I've grown many WOS AKR outside. I believe they are all fem's so no need to sex; or are they offering them now as non-fem reg seeds? Mine have always been ouside from sprouting! I use 3 gal air pots and get consistant results. Just cover the seedling until the first sets of leaves appear; if not, squirles will eat the sprouts! I just put a clear tuppaware container over it with some holes drilled into it to let air in/out. Once the leaves form - nothing seems to touch it. Just make sure your couch is comfortable..........thats my only advice!
