Bad seed pack? Unlucky pull?ilgm

So i bought some seeds specifically a 20 pack of super skunk auto and no magter what they do they always have trouble sprouting they can get through like the firsr 24 fine small taproot but after that not much improvement, ive used paper towell method with heat mat letting it float in water planting dirextly. Plus they are super small basically tiny which is concerning. Much smalleer than im used to.

I can’t speak to the germination problems, as I always just put mine directly in soil. The size of the seed isn’t indicative of a problem. This is an ILGM gorilla glue that was from a very small seed.

ILGM customer service is good. They will replace them. It is annoying though to have to use it.

I had the same problem with a 20ct of G13 photo from them honestly i gave up after trying about half the seeds most never actually poped and of the few that did only one actually made it above ground and then began dampening within 24hrs i used the exact same technique i do for all other seed and see no reason they should have had issues other than bad genetics ive also had a few of the blueberry auto i bought not pop but they’ve mostly been successful and ive had 0 issues with the zkittlez i bought those all poped so far and have been healthy plants one hermied but that was definitely my fault

I mostly use ILGM though. The guy at GP is a prick and I’ve read the strains can be questionable at times.

Appreciate the quick response and yeah that can definitely happen. Ilgm sounds pretty good just sucks sometimes you get a bad batch and all. If i get a refund or my choice of replacement id rather do northern lights or skittlez since you had good sucess with em

Heres my grow journal. Also had no issues with Gold Leaf and Strawberry Cough. My Zkittles is at the bottom.

The Strawberry Cough and Gold Leaf. It was outdoors. Just water it. This indoor stuff is like having a girlfriend.

This happens sometimes, not always user error. But if they germinate, would think they will grow fine. Keep them warm.
