Ilgm honest review

DancesWithWeeds said:

I read that. I got nothing but s-it from them. They sent me 10 Critical Mass seeds (pinhead size) and replaced them with 10 identical looking seeds that didn't grow. I got 3 plants out of 20 seeds, totally unacceptable. 2 of the plants were prrobably CM, but the 3rd was different, It had very long, skinny leafs and a supper stromg lemon smell. Don't know what it was but all the growers that grow here with me wanted some of it. If I knew what it was I might even order more, even if I had to order from ILGM. Probably not from ILGM, I'd have to think about that.

It would be no guarantee with ILGM that you would get the same thing. The phenos are so diverse. I mean, my last run of their gear is finishing up and 2/3 are my best from them. 2 great but very different phenos. The other though is shit. I hate this plant. Ive basically ignored it except water. But the other 2 are sub-fire. But very good. I agree if they sold these good phenos id buy again but its more bad than good and i am giving mephistos gear a try now anyways. Im on an indica kick.

You'd love growing in Arizona. Check out Facebook or YouTube for Budz Cured. It's all Arizona growing in tents. Some of them outside but in tents during the winter.

I would love to grow in a place like Arizona! Oklahooma is not the best place to grow but if all goes well you can get a lot from just a few plants. It's a little difficult to grow in Okla. We have extreme hot, well up into the triple ditigs, and our state low was -19. (That night I ran around naked in the back yard just to say I did it. It was so cold it didn't even feel cold.) We have high winds and tornados, hail storms, and a bug for everything. I shoot grasshoppers with my air rifle.

Look what I got for Christmas!

I want one! I send my kid around with his bb gun but this be much more fun. I feel ya on the weather extremes. We dont get quite as extreme but still have whole months where daytime temps are above 90 and it was 12 degrees last night. Humidity... drying in summer without a/c is....difficult to avoid mold. Hey chopped 1 of the last 2 ilgm gg4. They are assholes for not narrowing phenos. This shit smells like Trix cereal and kerosene. No larf really. Cant wait to try it out.

ILGM, For when germination is all that matters and you just dont care if the plant looks like crap. LOL. Honestly after over 16 weeks foxtails everywhere and still half white hairs i just dont care. I cant cut my lights back and this shit isnt worth it. I got 2 mephisto and a GSC freebie going. They could use the light. An honest ilgm review: Good germination, 10 to the 10th power different phenos. Some great ,most meh and others yuck. Im gonna have edibles out the ass i reckon. Itll get you plenty high im sure but ive better stuff to roll.

I chopped the larf plant and it wasnt as bad as it looked. This thing took forever too trim as i had to cut out all those dead leaves. If I hadnt wore gloves id have had fkn charras on my hands. 1.6 grams of scissor hash. I stressed this thing like hell. Not super strong smell but whats there smells like berries and pine. Those larf balls were hard as a rock in the center. The tops are all tight. Im guessing 4-5 zips of trimmed bud. Autos are amazing. I tortured this thing and still got a decent harvest. Ugly but I dont sell so me and my Wife and friends are gonna have a shit ton of cannabutter and smoke the best buds. My Mephistos needed the light. Drop the mike on ILGM. Finally. BTW. those are grill baskets and they are both double stacked tight with bud.

I have a ILGM Durban Poison (in front) about to cross the finish line here in a few weeks. VERY happy with this plant, has grown without issues, not even leaf tip-burn. It does look more indica to me but I don't care. Smells like Cinnamon Toast Crunch with a dash of anise and dirty carburetor gas poured over it. This plant isn't nearly as frosty as my other plants but I still think it's gona pack a punch.

Nice lookin plants Pop. That Durban Poison does have an indica look dont it? Not surprising with ILGM's pheno diversity. Thats the frustrating thing with them. You find a pheno you like theres no guarantee of getting the same thing. But yeah, you did get you a good 'un it appears. Good job there!

Thanks! Yeah i was initially bummed, was really hoping for a 'thin-leafed' plant and lemon-pine terps, this one is more cookies/cake with cinnamon and a bit of a gassy licorice, kinda weird but oh well. I know I've gotten that anise vibe from Durban buds in the past. A buddy of mine gave me a couple CSI Humboldt Durban beans and i have one more ILGM Durban bean, i want to run them side by side and compare.

Believe it or not, I got a PM from Stacy, ILGM customer service. (That was at Grasscity forum). She was ready to make everything right and I really appreciated that. It's too bad it took them so long to finaly accept the fact that they sent bad seeds.

Anyhow, I told her I wasn't interested anymore that I needed good seeds then, not now.

They must be reading reviews and trying to shut some of us up. I got a package the other day that had 10 GG4 Auto beans in it. After months of complaining I had given up. Yeah I swore them off but hey, it's not gonna hurt me to throw in a GG here and there. They have been good yielders, just erratic genes. Might go outside with em. My space is currently full of Mephisto and Fast Buds gear.

PlantsAreNeat said:

Just chiming in to say that ILGM has always been very good to me, and I disagree with anyone thinking that they have unstable genetics. Their Super Skunk strain I have ran multiple times and always produced extremely good product, however, I will say that their selection is not nearly what some other sites have but the beans they do have are good and their whole process is pretty flawless. I would highly recommend them.

ILGM are just reselling home growers seeds g from backyard growers who do not sex test their strains, They simply sell the seeds to ILGM as F1's. Their is no stability in their strains and they low THC quality. There Terpenes are always less than 1.2%. We tested 10 of their strains and 14 pheons and all tested around 14% THC and 1.2% Terps. ILGM is not for growers who want to have cannabis cup type strains. If you want high premium you would never buy from ILGM wtf, if u even consider that then you are a low level grower. No Biosystems Engineer who grows to compete and destroy dispensaries ever buy from inline sites with no Breeder info wtf. I don't care what the case is. 2nd, you would never buy seeds from any site if the seeds do not end with IBL, BX or IBL F2. Experienced growers like myself only buy from the breeder that stabilized their strains to IBL, BX2 or IBL F2. Nobody would dare make a garbage strain an IBL, You would waste over $10k to stabilize a strain only to test at 13% THC, no way. Only buy strains from breeders who stand on true or F2 stability. I should say SoCal Master Kush IBL or SoCal Master Kush F2 or SoCal Master Kush BX1, BX2 etc. If it just says SoCal Master Kush, leave it alone.

Well ,somebody has a rather steep self opine. Im just here for the company. The crap i grew when i started back a few years ago taught me to get where i am now. I aint after no awards or accolades from nobody. At my age im beyond it. Hes right about buying good genetics. These last Mephistos are f6's and they to a one looked like clones and smelled/tasted the same, which was the best stuff ive yet grown( only been buying beans 3 years) The GG i grew from ilgm i guarantee was way over 14% on the handful of good phenos. A few were as strong as the 3 bears and its been tested by a bunch of people over 23%. Now taste and smell wise ,only 3 plants were decent. Ive never expected cup winning weed from an online bank but ILGM could do alot better. Its just cheap spanish F1's. If Mephisto can have a whole catalog of fire then ILGM could at least buy from breeders who pheno hunt. And yes im aware that autos arent gonna be as good as the photo version but i like em. I just harvested 2 plants at 2 zips each in 65 and 70 days. For my purposes right now they work. My stuff beats anything I've tasted from a dispensary lately so im happy. Whether you got a green thumb or are struggling, just keep growing yall and we shall all be the better for it.

Lol this thread is funny. Thanks guys.

Right! I keep saying im not gonna come back but here we are. I think by now its safe for new readers to see that: ILGM is a seed bank. They sell mediocre F1 copies of popular strains. No plant will look alike or like the strain is supposed to but a handful will still be decent. You will only fall for their game once and youll move on to better companies. Grow cannabis. Grow any type you can. If ILGM or Crop King or Ditchweed Dan are your only sources then Grow the best Meh weed you can. Something about doing it yourself makes it seem more rewarding. When you do get real genetics youll know what to do with them.

Can you believe I've never had anything from a dispensary. Even those that grew with me that have bags full buy a bud occasionally. After reading about how bad it is I don't even want to trey it.

I can believe it lol. Only reason i have is i have some friends that know people from Cali and now theyre selling cbd and delta 8,10,and 11 at smoke shops and some of em have the real stuff under the counter. Its garbage. Even the stuff from Cali isnt as good as my better plants. I cannot imagine having to go back to buying. Id quit first. But yeah, the dispo weed looks good and is real tight but it's harsh as hell and expensive.

I know that some indoor grown weed is really good but in my mind I think of it as the same a tomatoes grown hydroponically. They taste like cardboard and some are actually a little crunchy. Personally, I want my weed grown in
God's earth where I grow the rest of my veges, not my grow room.

I will say that nothing tastes like sungrown weed. I sure wish i had a yardspace to grow in. It'd sure be nice to not have the power bill increase and my wife wants the other bathroom back( i kinda like it. Its like taking a crap in the woods lol. I wish i could Dances, ..... 1 thing about indoor is i get to grow year round. Thats a big plus for me as i want to try as many strains as possible. Eventually maybe ill gave enough land to do 1 big outdoor crop but i still see me having a few autos indoors. Im just having too much fun!

LMAO. Now that's funny, but it's understandable. I'd grow in my grow room but I kill anything I put in a pot. I read all the problems and solutions that git posted here and think I can do it. The last one I tried was a Diet Durban. Seediest stuff ever and not good at all. Three of the same things outside and they are nearly 8 feet tall and really nice full plants. Almost as wide as tall. Maybe it's because farmers just have a hard time growing inside. It just doesn't seem natural.

I have 3 Diet Durban THCV:THC. They all look the same, are 7 to 8 feet tall and about as wide as tall. They all started flowering at the same time. So far, my complements to the chief at Seedsman.
