Well this is my first time buying from ILGM and I bought 5 seeds. I’ve only planted 3 of them so far and all 3 we’re a complete success!

I was expecting 50-70% to germinate, so I planted extra. Big mistake and costly at $10 and more a seed. I think 100% germinated to seed split and tail showing about 80% (so many that I planted a dozen outside). Another big mistake as they died (too much moisture with too cold). Never more than 3 at a time.

my blue dreams were 3/5 sprouted. everything else has been 100% success (about 10 more seeds).
oddly enough the failures were some of my first plants and i’m willing to bet it was all my fault. and ILGM still replaced all 5. good people

100% with my seed purchases from ILGM. I was gifted some blueberry auto that were a couple years old that didn’t grow.

You should expect most to germinate without too much hassle. I think it’s inevitable that you will have one not germinate here and there if you grow long enough, but isn’t the norm. If you someone post that half their order failed t9 germinate there was extraordinary event or issue with their process.

@dbrn32 sounds like everyone is having good success with the seeds.1 or duds isnt bad at all.and its even better that they get replaced if they didn’t germinate. the main reason i asked was because i want to grab more and since 99% if ppl state they have good rates and didn’t really specify whats genetics gave me more confidence to buy whatever sounds good and has good medical benefits without really worrying about if they will sprout or not.cant beat the 20 pack deals

I dont even mess with the 10+10 deals anymore. I bought 5 Harlequin a year ago and grew one and after harvesting placed it in my starter cabinet and revegged it successfully. It is a glorious little mother plant now. I should post a pic but I’m too lazy to go do it right now…Lol.
Anyway I have two clones off it ready to grow out when I harvest the two I have growing in the tent right now, which is Blue Dream and Northern Lights. I know I wind up paying more per seed but if I dont use them then its a waste. I get over 90% germinate and I cant say for certain that the failures have not been my fault. Most of those were early on before I had a good system.

I want to grow some Harlequin, but not at 10/10 or 20/10. Waiting for a trifecta 5/5/5 deal
Got time, for now

My first Harlequin plant was nice and frosty and a dry bud looks like any nice top shelf bud. Thus why I kept the plant alive. Very sticky with resin. Alone its like a real good 1970 strength smoke. Like when you got a bag that was better than normal. The high CBD keeps it mellow.
I like mixing it with other strains to mellow out the high of some of the stronger strains like Purple Haze.
I’m near 100%. I did have a couple agent orange seeds that refused to pop tails.

100% so far one died as a seedling probably my fault. 8 WW and 4 gold leaf
Ive had 100% 8 for 8 this year but lost one as a seedling, my fault. Ive had a few in the past that didn’t germinate, probably my fault. When I buy seeds I expect a few here and there to not germinate.
From ilgm I’m probably 95% success rate. Except for the Bruce banner auto that I’m 0/5 on. One of these days I need to test out the customer service replacement process…
My first grow had 3 of 4 to germinate WW auto bought the 10 +10 deal also on 420 deal bought 10 + 10 LSD auto’s will be my next grow but i have learned alot on this grow and realized 32x32x63 tent not big enough for 3 plants going to cut back to 2 plants

Hard to say for sure as I gave away a few and lost a couple due to incompetency. Safe to say I am over 95% success with ILGM.
