Anyway, my seeds from ILGM are looking good. Too young to see characteristics, but most seems to be looking the same. 19 are durban poison, 10 are northern lights. Anyhow, I ordered seeds from DCseedexchange. 20 regular train wreck, 7 Thai afgani Pakistani, 10 Columbian landrace mind trip, and they threw in a lot of free seeds. Two 5 packs of ancient skunk, and a 5 pack of purple afgani. The seeds are already in the dirt, 8 inch pots, and potting soil, as how I did the seeds from ILGM, and all came up but one. I will update as I go. Once they all are well into the vegetation stage, I will post how they look and all. I hope my ending results in October is a great thing. Either way, I'm waiting until then to leave my detailed review.

Sucks people are having bad luck. This week I had my first ILGM bean to fail. GG#4 autos. The other one is 4 days old. I picked out the smallest one of the tiny seeds( the failed one was normal size) and put it in the paper towel 48 hrs ago. It had a 1/4 inch root last night and it just broke soil. The bigger one is only like 35 days old and had loads of pistils over a week ago. I'll order from a more experienced breeder next time as I want specific strains they don't have. However, until then I'm going to grow their beans till they are gone. Once I learned how to grow autos I actually am having fun. Hey what's that D.C. seedbank again? I'd like to check out their inventory. Good day Growmies!

There's your backup plan. Looking at reviews, looks ILGM has some good and bad. I hope mine are okay. Like I said, not leaving my review until after I harvest.

Sucks but We for sure can’t expect every seed to be perfect. Twins can be male or female so it’s just the way things go. Only way to get past that is to clone of course. Hope your grow is going as it should.

Another week and my ILGM gg4's are doing quite well. They are in ffof and I'm only using cal-mag and distilled water so far. Very fast growing strain. Not alot of frost yet, but it just stopped stretching. I've started each one a couple weeks apart. So far so good. Still having fun!

For all you do, that buds for you. My durabin poison and northern lights are doing well. Started mother's day, from ILGM. My DC seedlings are all up, except 4 out of 20 regular trainwreck. All 10 Columbian mind trip landrace came up, all 7 plus one extra purple afgani Thai came up, plus 10 ancient skunk freebies came up. They gave me a lot of freebies, so I'm not pressed.

Looks like you have your shit together. Like I've been saying, yes genetics are important. However , if you know what you're doing you can grow some excellent stuff from about any bean bank. Grower skills are paramount. Great job Growmie! Can't wait to see your harvest. I'm really wanting to see that Ancient skunk as skunk is one of my top 3 all-time faves ( so far anyway).

Well, I've had a strain in the same room, that got mildew, and the other didn't. That's why I'm picky and aim towards outdoor strains that are used to high humidity. I would love to take pictures, but I'm skeptical about it, being I'm in a state that's not 420 friendly.I will probably take pictures with my camera and upload at another location.
No experience with them but I will say this, cropkingseeds diesel berry was a let down for me. Of the 25 I ordered everyone popped, started in potting mix, and only 9 actually broke ground. Gave them 5 days to strout before I investigated and turns out the pods failed to split open enough for the seedlings to emerge. They died in their cases. If anyone does grow these then prior to germ do the sandpaper trick cause it was a huge waste of money for me. It’s little details like that all these companies need to list on the info page because their only guarantees are germination and nothing to do with sprouting. Kinda frustrating

Yeah I've heard crop king wasn't great. Course if you look almost every company has fanboys and haters. I use the paper towel method and make sure I have a nice taproot before I plant them. The "soak in glass of water" method ilgm preaches didn't work well for me. Soaked 2 days and nothing. Took out and placed in paper towel like I always have and next day they had sprouted. I since only use paper towel and I had my 1st fail to sprout 2 weeks ago. Closer inspection revealed a cracked edge of the bean. My only real complaint with ilgm is the plethora of phenotypes in one strain. The wwauto's we're all over the place on appearance. All were decent smoking but consistency could be better. But I got 20 beans for just over a bill. I'm content until they are gone then I'm gonna order some o' them classic strains from DC or Humboldt. I prefer proper terpenes to absolute highest THC. Seems like so much of the dispensary weed I've tried gets ya high as hell but after 2 tokes the taste is gone. Terpenes rule!
Yeah I soak em for 15 hours then paper towel too, problem I had was planted tap root, seed shell too hard for initial leaf swell to crack open. Tap shrivelled just outside shell and while root looked okay the leaves died inside the pod which refused to open like normal

I wasn't overly impressed with the ilgm wwauto's. They smoked fine and all, but the terpenes were weak and they looked like shit. Mostly my fault but still. The GGauto is definitely a better strain. Almost grow themselves. More consistent genetics so far and buds smell like lemon pinesol. 5-6 weeks to go. Good luck on your grows people!

ILGM sent me 10 Critical Mass seeds this year. They didn't grow, most didn't gerninate. They replaced them and assured me they were from a different lot.
The seeds looked exactly the same, and didn't grow ether.
Take a look at the pictures. It appears that they FLAT OUT LIED to me about different batches of seeds. These are the two bag they came in.
Now, let them explain how seeds from different batches can have the same numbers.
This is what sprouted.
They DID NOT replace them the secomd time and as much as said that I didn't know how to greminate seeds.
I do have to say that the rest of the seeds are doing just fine in two MMJ gardens, 2 Chocolope, 3 Big Bud, 6 Amnesia Haze. All ILGM seeds. But, there again, this is the THIRD time I've bad seeds from them.
I won't buy from them anymore.
