Upon the discovery of your website I thought I had finally found just who I was looking for!! A great selection and price. I m not about to bicker with you over your seeds but I can tell you that the seeds you sent me are complete garbage. I soaked them and soaked them. I put them in propagation and still nothing!! Out of 20 seeds I have 11 that will not pop. I am incredibly disappointed and will be passing my experience along. I suggest you take a look at your suppliers because less than 50% is unacceptable.

I wish I had searched other sites for reviews, and not went by their site reviews. I ordered 30 seeds, 20 durban poison, 10 northern lights. I chose these strains, because they're supposed to be outdoor wet climate friendly. Well, my seeds came, no problem. When I looked at them, the northern lights didn't have the characteristics of indica. They're light colored, very small and the durban poison looked identical. Sativa seeds are solid dark, indica seeds looks like tiger stripes. So, I emailed them about it. They said, factory seeds don't always have the same characteristics as others. I'm thinking to myself, WTF! How's that change anything! They said, not to worry, they guarantee germination. I told them, not the point, this is all about my season being wasted. I asked, are they legit. They said yes. So, I planted them. So far, almost all of my durabin poison had came up, but only a couple northern lights. I'm not leaving a review with them until after the results of the quality. 6 months of worry ahead of me. So, now I'm looking for other seeds for backup. I hope I'm not wasting my time, but the looks of these reviews, and those seeds, I'm not confident. If my seeds don't germinate, why would I want replacement seeds that look like bird seed! Been doing this too long. Can't see how I'm wrong, but I hope I am.

You know I’ve done business with ILGM on several occasions had fairly good luck with them for a while but I’ll no longer I stopped due to exact same reason where I live we don’t have the luxury of obtaining seeds at a local breeder as some on the west coast or our northern neighbors. Elev8, Greenpoint, AG seeds I’ll kindly vouch for great folks very credible. Or you could make friends with one of our northern neighbors and they may help you out. I trade seeds with a buddy near Toronto an man they got some really good breeders and you get exactly what you pay for. I do a lot of my own breeding but I deal with mostly old school genetics.
Good Luck my friend!

Thanks, I like the original strains as well, landrace strains. Looking to make extracts. I'm in West Virginia.

Looks nice. I hope everything goes well for me too. By any means, I'm not bashing them, I'm just sceptical. I'll leave a review when I'm finished, meanwhile, looking for backup. Did you smoke any yet?

I have a sample I cut about 7-8 days ago to quick dry.. I’m waiting til my day is over & going to fire it up tonight. I almost had it with my coffee, just figured it’d be a great closer for the day. (Crossing my fingers on it)

Just harvested something a little different couple weeks ago I’m sure many out there have grown it. But as I originally stated I’m and old school hippie that’s reluctant to let go of the old and grab some of the new. So I grew some Snoop Punch from elev8 and it’s really damn good nice fruity taste great aroma dense buds it’s currently curing transferred into glass jars now. Got some Runtz growing as well but they’re only at day 35 right now. Sunset sherbet at day 24, and just put in flower a few purple Larry’s a couple days ago.

I was skeptical when I saw how small some of the beans were but so far they have all sprouted and vegged fine. I fkd up after that cause wasy first auto and led grow. 24/0 light cycle and 5.2 pH. But they survived and though they were homely looking, they smoke great. Smell and taste is good too. Got 2 gg4 going rt now. ILGM has been ok for me. I have a couple other companies I want to order from next time but it's because of the rare old school strains they carry. Humboldt seeds, Solfire. ILGM is ok. They aren't gonna win the cannabis cup anytime soon but a decent grower will still get something worth smoking if they try.

Thanks for the information. Been a week now, almost all of them came up. I just put them directly in the dirt. They're feminized. I'm trying to do outdoors, not trying to confuse them with lights. They're out on my patio, and got soaked and cold at night. Had to build a temporary enclosure with clear plastic roof and a heater. I love old school strains. I need plants that are more mold resistant. Fall season is kinda wet and humid. Any suggestions on good strains out there? Sativa is usually the way to go.

I talked to someone on here that told me Humboldt seeds has the old school skunk #1 and the old Christmas tree bud they been growing since the 70s. I miss the old school terpenes like crazy. Breeders have definitely increased THC content over the years but alot of them seem to lose the terp profile that helped make famous. When I get some I'll post the results. ILGM is bad for having inconsistent genetics. I grew 3 White widow and they looked more like different strains than phenos. But they all smoked about the same and were potent if not pretty. Good Luck!

You can't tell anything from the size, color or stripes on a seed.

I've had indica seeds that were big, small, tiger striped, pale no stripes.

I've also had sativa seeds that were big, small, dark, light, striped and not striped.

But ILGM is a rip off that sells bulk Spanish produced seeds, ie white label seeds, at a premium.

Same seeds they sell you can get at seedsman for 1/2 the price.

They will take care of you

I agree that the looks of the seed are virtually useless. I have had 3 different looking seeds out of the same bud. I've had decent luck with ilgm but I would never pay full price. I only bought when it was 10+10 on the strain I wanted. Also I used the 10 percent discount coupon. 20 beans for $120. I only used them anyways because they were easy, in country and take cash. I have other places stocking other strains for next time. But all ilgm's beans have sprouted and grew for me.

Have heard so many good and bad reviews about them. Never ordered because of that same reason. Most seeds I get now are from small reputable breeders. DC seed exchange and multiverse beans! Can’t go wrong. Any fans of gas reaper can get bunches for cheap as they are trying to dump his genetics due to his bad attitude.

I wanted some fem dsd they had and I’ll be damned if one went off as an auto while other just flipped to flower. Wild genetics or? First time that’s happened to me. Sure messed me up tho

That sounds horrible. Sorry to hear that. All 19 of my northern lights came up and 19 of 20 durban poison. I'm going to get some seeds from DC seeds, for backup. I will be reporting characteristics through the veg stage. NL should be short and bushy. DP should be tall, and pure sativa.
