This bagseed plant has been vegging for months while the wwautos are there. Light cycle is 16/8 for 2 months now. All of a sudden it just burst out in pistils last week and is definitely starting to flower and stretch. My question is do ya think it might have some auto genetics? My other photos are showing no signs.

Stay far FAR away,
Here's a dated and order# and cost breakdown of my 3 experiences with ilgm,
1st order, 4/18/17, order #163288, didn't get order, stacy gave a reship and got my 10+10 white widow auto sent from europe, 19 grew to maturity, 1 didnt, EXCELLENT success rate on ilgm part,
2nd order, 9/14/18, order#325890, $109.00, 10+10 blue berry auto, AFTER I placed my order and it was confirmed I got a notice from ilgm that they were out of stock and would ship asap, (they sold my confirmed order out from under me),
Finally got my seeds (shipped from California this time, NOT europe),
Out of the 20 seeds, 4 grew to maturity, 3 died in first week, 13 didn't even germinate, POOR and lost $109.00 in the process because only 4 grew, screwed big time,
3rd order, 4/30/19, order#417966, $119.00, after the blue berry fiasco I figured I'd play it safe and order the white widow autos again,
Went with their 3rd option of their "recommended" payment method, and was informed they could no longer accept the money order option (after it was already recieved), but they must have accepted it because I was notified my order was on its way (from California once again and NOT europe like the 1st order),
Welp after 10 weeks I found/realized that they didnt send me autos, they sent me white widow photo fems, because after 8 weeks I had to go to a 12 12 schedule to get them to flower, nice little switch a roo there ilgm,
So I didn't even wind up with the autos I ordered, and I'm not even sure they're white widow, they're supposed to be indica dominate, but these clearly sativa dominant, (been growing for 40+ years, I KNOW the difference,
An interesting observation tho, the seeds I got from my 1st order shipped from europe and we're execellent,
Last 2 orders shipped from California and both orders were junk, are seeds being switched out by the California shipper?, read reviews on grow forums and you'll find that this is a common problem with the california ilgm shipper,
Now either ole bobs genetics have gone thru the floor, or he and customers are being duped by that california shipper, I don't know, and at this point I don't care anymore, between to botched orders I'm now out $230.00 for 2 orders of cappy seeds sent from california by ilgm,
Save your money, your 1st order will be good to suck you in, but once they got you, your subsequent orders could leave you NOT high and definitely dry (gotta have a Lil humor because I'm extreemly pissed, and the humor is keeping me from using words I don't want to use),
For me and my past experiences ilgm is out, nirvana or southern oregon seed will be where I order from now on, tired of getting screwed by ilgm, I do hope bob Bergman looks into the california shipper because I truely sense something nefarious is taking place that is not only pissin customers off, it also costing bob and ilgm future customers,
We'll off to other review sites, got a busy day ahead of me lol,
OH and this review I added the order numbers so it can be listed as confirmed orders,
BUYER BEWARE!!!!,

That is really some bad luck! I’m sorry you’ve had to go through all of that…….for sure.

On the other side of the coin:
I’ve ordered from ILGM since 2017, for 5 years; 6 orders. Made my 7th one today.

The orders ALWAYS arrived within 2-3 weeks and with NO problems.

Most of the seeds have popped. Only a couple haven’t popped at all. Others popped, but didn’t come up after I put them in soil (not many), and ILGM replaced them anyway….no questions asked & they never asked me to return the ones that didn’t come up.

The quality of the plants have been just fine, except last year, and it wasn’t their fault. The first two strains flowered really early (8-12” tall- NOT Autoflower) and the 3rd, I ordered much later & they were fine…turns out the problem was that I planted them a little too early & the hours of darkness were still a little too long…..not ILGM’s problem.

I looked on many other sites/seed banks in the last week, and still went back to them. I really did my research, and this was my answer. There are others out there that are fine. Seedsman was one I wanted to order from, but they were out of what I wanted, and I was firm on it, so….plus, they have shipping, and it took their nice, low price and made it as expensive as ILGM.

for what it’s worth.

Who's this dude talking to Susanne? I don't think I've said anything controversial.? Anyways I've had fine luck with ilgm, and after my photos are finished I'm starting 4 gg4 from ilgm.

Here are the banks I've copped from Vancouver Seedbank (ions ago,1st time ordering ever and ev. showed up,now their selection is a joke) GTA Seedbank Canada also (not cheap or great selection,but always got what I ordered and they answered the phone) Attitude (only across the ocean bank I've dealt with,Multiple orders,never ripped,but some shitty seeds time to time) Greenpoint USA (one strain PPunch/FPOG cross,wasn't impressed) BC Bud Depot (a couple orders,didn't get ripped as I've heard many such accusations) Oregon Green Seed (got my orders,talked to owner(nice lady) so so results) Seeds Here Now (always received my orders) Seed Cellar (always rec. my orders) DC Seed Exchange (always rec. my orders,not many breeders) Copy Cat ( I know people on the site rag like a MF on the guy,but Always rec. my gear,and prices on site are a gag,email to contact and deals are availlable,sometimes as low as $50 a pack if you spend $250 Vancouver Island Seed CO (only time I've been ripped outright,only a $80 MO down the drain lesson learned) North Atlantic Seed Bank (kind of local in Maine,have the most famous Euro breeders,Barney's,DPassion,G.House in addition to US breeders,Got orders quickly,they are new but on the ball,and I like that I don't need Attitude now as they've been slipping in Stock and seed quality.)

Hey man I'm just learning how to do the autos. I only mentioned ilgm because of the thread name. And I know my little plants can't match what you pros have but I'm never gonna get better if I don't grow. I wasn't trying to brag. I'm just glad I've got one down. I thought maybe somebody here might be where I am in the process and like to see. Sorry if it bothered you

I grow for medicine for me and my wife. I've always grown landrace photos not bought autos. This plant will provide my 50 something yr old body with a months meds sorry as it looks. I'm gaining tips on here and eventually I'll have something really good. Until then I say have a nice green day!

My last order was from D.C. Seed exchange, order was delayed a couple days due to snowstorms, but still got it rather quickly. The "freebies" that were included were nice. 1 freebie is actually nicer than the breed I bought.
Hembra has been the quickest yet, ordered on Sunday, in my Mailbox Wednesday, west coast to east coast.
Chi Town Seeds has been good, 3 days from order to mailbox, different freebies included depending on breeder.
I don't "order" from the Seed Cellar, as I can drive there and not have to wait, but they ship, and have a very wide variety of breeders available.
Omuerta Genetics, ordered directly, bought 2 packs, got 2 packs free, and a pack of testers, it definitely made the order worthwhile, especially with the exchange rate to the Canadian dollar. $150 US spent, $400 worth of seeds delivered, can't beat that at all.
Everything I've purchased, I would take any day over anything that ILGM has to offer, and some that I have purchased were cheaper, from a known breeder, and was the strain I purchased, not White Label seeds like ILGM offers for a higher price.

Wow, you definitely have a lot of different breeders you've bought from. I appreciate the info and the candor. It's awesome but daunting that there are so many bean companies out there. You sure gave me alot of ideas. Most people that wanna tell you not to buy from ilgm don't offer any other options.
