ILGM seeds mixed reviews

Mass produced stolen genetics. Great if you don't care what your strain really is or if you don't want to support the breeders that actually made the strain

Id be appreciative of any suggestions on good reputable seed banks. Stealth is a big concern of mine also
 
Put in room temp water 24 hours, plant 1/8 to 1/4 inch deep max in moistened seedling starter mix pointy end down (they usually have started to split after 24 hour soak) then moisten mix again with spray bottle so you dont disrupt dirt too much, cover with one sheet saran wrap with maybe 10 toothpick holes punched in it, put under light. Spray again each morning until they come up. Usually within 5 days they are up. Only had one fail out of a lot of seeds planted. If you do the hydro thing and rock wool plugs i cant offer any advice as I only grow in dirt, but i have not had any issues with any of their seeds growing, auto or regular feminized. Grown the WW, OG, Pineapple Haze, Super Lemon Haze, Blueberry, Agent Orange, Orange Bud, Strawberry Kush, Strawberry Cough, Chocolope, maybe some others, not sure, i get those mix packs.

On this one i didnt bother poking holes in wrap as the sheet doesnt cover entire pot and allows air exchange yet area under there still stays moist.

If this were to be true, I would hope those breeders that were robbed would find a way to go at them & destroy them. With the way cannabis is being viewed, and the way it changes for the better with time.. I would like to see justice strike down on that.... however..I don't think that's the case. I think all bases have been covered, and everyone's been compensated. Just like everyone else who breeds. The original beans they started with came from another breeder & they were paid for. I'd be crazy if Robert was sneaking into gardens and snatching clones. lol

Well I think they're the same as all the other euro based mass producing banks like crop king, royal queen, ect. You think they all got permission for those genetics? Obviously they didn't sneak in and steal them but they don't get permission to breed them because they don't legally have to and it's considered shady af in the grow world. It's been going on for decades and most people don't care now but us old school growers still don't fuck with them

I'm followin.. but I still think that the unwritten bi-laws in the cannabis world were followed in those times. I get the legal issue that may prevent someone from doing anything about it.. but those times are changing. If the good ol' honor system was broken, I would hope all that came to light for sure.
 
Look at the lineage of 90% of the strains out there, including strains from some of the most popular American breeders and you'll realize MOST of them are "mass produced stolen genetics." Very few breeders do the hard work of breeding a new, stable strain. It's all about $$$, making money off the green rush while they can. If it bothers you, support an established breeder that operates in a way you like. This is one of the reasons I like Ace and Serious so much, they put in the work and don't ditch their lines for the next fotm.

This was soaked Sunday night, planted Monday night, up out of dirt Thursday night. This is their AK47 auto. Never have a problem with them coming up.

From what ive been reading, some people get bad batches and some people get good batches. 0 to 1 out of 10 germinating. They then complain and get sent more seeds. The new ones have no problems... I might be reaching a little, but it seems as if they try to push old seeds instead of taking the loss. If they dont hear anything back, great.. if they do, they send some more seeds that miraculously germinate.. Im not saying that theyre con artists or anything like that. But i had a certain issue and when i started digging, i found that a lot of other people had the same issue. 0% germination success then the replacement round of seeds turn out fine.. it just seems more than coincidental but i honestly don't know. Just speculation on my part
 
I ordered from them once. Once.
Same issue. All the seeds I tried, failed to germinate (3 strains). THEN I saw all the people with the same issues and THEN I saw that they want you to jump through hoops to get their seeds to pop. Done.
I've never had problems with any other beans.
There's a reason they have to replace so many seeds. They'd be out of business if they didn't.

Thank you. The people gettin attitudes and laughin at my thread obviously work for them, because everyone else agrees with what we're saying. So they can keep laughing and buying them bunk seeds if they want lol
 
very disappointed, 6/18 Bruce Banner turned into a plant, ILGM offered to replace the seeds or give a $200.00 credit with a $79.00 purchase, I figured the BB replacement would not be viable, so I bought 2 more strains, which, so far, 0/6 and 0/3 did not grow, except the Gold leaf 3/3, offered as a bonus at $12.00 ea. That cost me $250.00 total, and I got 9 plants out of 30 seeds planted,, I figure the remaining 29 seeds will also disappoint me.

I had issues with BB once before. One threw nanners and fucked up my grow. I’m growing the replacements right now but it’s too early to tell. My point? Maybe it’s better they didn’t germ at all.

I’ve had no other issues from them.
