I will be probably changing seed companies after this last grow using ILGM seeds It will be my 14th grow I have tried White Widow, Super Skunk.GG4.BlueDream, Maui Wowie,Nothern Lights,MK Ultra,LSD,GIrl Scout Cookies X,DoSiDo,Runtz,CaliDream,Banana Kush,Black Widow,Bruce Banner,Durban Poison. From all that I grew Only one and I mean only one that was The best was a Maui Wowie I grew I did 5 more on the next grow and Not one came close to it, It’s very disappointing with all the time and money i put into these grow To only grow low grade weed that barely gets me buzzed I spend over 1000 on each grow and that includes the Eletric bill So its turning into something that’s just not worth the expense of it all Okay before Im hit with everything but the kitchen sink on what i use meaning Lighting ,soil, Fertilizers ETC, Thats not the problem at all sum will fight me tooth and nail about it but I don’t care I have grown very successfully organic all the way for many of years now and I need better genetics in seeds to make it worth the grow any longer I will try one final grow with the Apple fritter and Grape Octane but I’m not expecting anything but lots of different pheons 12 plants all together 6 AF and 6 GO My last grow was 4blue dream 4Runtz,4 GG4 GG4 came in first Buzz wise but the others were very weak and I’m pretty much done using ILGM after this next grow I’m just wondering if there’s others out there having the same problems as me !
Wow…that is a long list of duds dude. Everything I have grown from ILGM has been fire. I use other seedbanks as well and have grown some amazing smoke from them too. Good luck in whatever direction you go.
Disturbing to hear this Growmie. I’ve grown half of those strains from ILGM with great success. What exactly was the issue
I hate to hear that , I have grown a few of those strains that you listed with great success. From my experience growing cannabis since the early eighties Inside and outside most plants If given the right environment will take off and do well.Cannabis is actually pretty tough plants. Stick around we like to see everybody have a successful grow Ask questions share some photos.
Happy growing
Don’t get me wrong ILGM has always made up for it by giving me credit on seeds that didn’t germinate My only problem is potency that’s it the buds i grow are a work of art no problem with Appeal and smell but it comes down to the buzz of the outcome of it Now the GG4 is the only one I grow each time but from what I seen about them is 3 different phenotype One is pretty good the 2nd one is okay and the 3rd pheno is crap .
@RedEyEs66 , No reason to leave the forum though. Keep us posted on what you try next and the results. Everyone here looks for ways to improve and grow better plants each time we run a grow cycle. If you find better genetics let us know. And it would be great if you could pick up a cheap old digital camera and post some pictures.
I will pass along to you that my wife is immune to cannabis completely. She eats 9 infused cookies a day. I can eat 1/3 of one and be fine and I ate a whole one once and was baked all night and half the next day She feels nothing but a little sleepy. She vapes from 4 dry herb pens every day. No typical effects from that either. I have one dry herb vape and take 2 pulls only and am at my limit. Now about 4 years ago I grew an Amnesia Haze and she said it made her feel weird in the head and refused to use any more. I believe she felt the typical Sativa high and just was not a fan.
Some people are not effected by cannabis. It may be you are one too.
Just a thought with my own experience in mind. I will say that if you find a plant that lights you up then you should revert it back to veg and clone the heck out of it.
How’s your tolerance these days? How many grams do you go through a week, and in what form do you consume? Have you regularly mixed in strains from other breeders for medicating? Have harvests varied in terms of maturity?
I’m still growing strains acquired before I interacted here, so have no experience with the seeds you reference, but I feel like it may not be the seeds.
Sorry to hear that your considering leaving, however the forum is always open to anyone. I’ve grown super silver haze 18% thc, grand daddy purple 21% thc and super skunk 20% last check but it’s not cured yet so it should go up some. These were all purchased from ILGM. I’m a rookie grower with only 4 grows under my belt. I don’t have a high tolerance so it doesn’t take much to buzz me.
What I have taken from this thread the OP is not leaving the forum just not getting any more seeds from Parent site, Now on to seed to mature potency, never a issue here all seem to do what they should grow mature, then its up to me to dry and cure for best results, not hardcore smoker myself, buuuut my DIL is and she has thumbed up every bag I gave her, not sayin your dry and cure lacks, just sayin something is a miss from sprout to smokin, going on 3 rd grow with ILGM seeds, and will have a few other cultivators in the mix and time will tell.
I believe that it’s clear that something other than genetics is responsible. Before you ditch them I might suggest that you ask for advice on the forum.
I’ve grown most of the cultivars listed and found them all to be high producing, high potency plants. I would like a stronger terpene profile but that is just me.
Some details would be helpful.
I strongly urge you to try other seed banks a lot of here get seeds from other sources. Id like to know what you find and what your results are. There’s some really good strains out there that ILGM doesn’t carry. Although
Id bet you’ll find similar results at most other seed banks with pheno’s being all over the place. With all those strains that you grew and that many being crap just doesn’t add up to me. I can understand having a few different pheno’s but for them to all be crap except one I would need more info on grow techniques and harvest to be convinced. Ive grown Black Widow 3 different times, years apart and they were nearly identical. Same with Banana Kush, LA Confidential and GodfatherOG. All have been exceptional smoke as well.
What are your drying conditions. Plant can be good all the way till it’s dried wrong. Not saying you’re drying wrong just that this is where many fail. So just seeking more information on how your environment is when drying.
I tend to agree with this. But on the other hand it works out as I dont really want people to know I am growing here. SO its not terribly difficult to keep the grow under the radar. Mostly Northern Lights and its not a highly smelly strain anyway. The best terp I have found for myself was a Green Point Seed Purple Punch that smelled like grape Kool Aid.
