Very skeptical about feminised seeds from ilgm

This is what I get from this thread. @Licksore you came here for one reason and that was to put down ILGM seeds. You were right to think you would get a lot of hate from the forum because you are the very few or the only one I have heard of that had such bad seeds. Yet you come here to complain with not a bit of evidence other than your word. I can honestly say that I would of been taking pictures of the grow from the beginning. Once I started seeing signs of a male plant I would of had some great closeups of it. Then I would of posted asking why this happened to me. Showing pictures and explaining how you’ve been doing things would of gotten a better response from the community. I am in no way saying that you did something wrong other than the way you posted this thread with no evidence.

I had auto seeds that didn’t autoflower after a month like it states. Sure I was disappointed because I planned my grow around autos, not photo period. I contacted customer support and they sent me free seeds. Ilgm is a good company that stands by their word, you just went about it the wrong way. You ever hear the saying “catch more flies with honey than with vinegar”

My mom used to have a phrase for a statement like this, “those are fighting words.”
Anyone who spends good money on beans sent through the mail, with numerous guarantee’s that you receive them, that they germinate and that you are satisfied, and that person has no documentation of the steps they took toward success/failure; doesn’t really want compensation.

Hey guys: this is nothing more than troll behavior. Post 1 set the tone and the OP has been antagonistic throughout. This thread should be closed and the member banned. He has what he needs to get “satisfaction” but no pictures IMO nothing happened!

I’m growing seeds from other seed banks as well as many others. Your entire operating premise is flawed.

I won’t say what I want to.

I totally hear what you’re saying, just about a month ago my brother grew a feminized durban poison that I gave him that I got from ilgm and it turned out to be a male, now I have bought many seeds from them, all supposed to be feminized, my first grow was a durban poison and she was a huge female who I called bertha and she gave me a pound in weight, I have done white widow twice, gold leaf twice, super silver haze, blueberry and strawberry kush and they have all been female, so I was putting it down to my brother doing something wrong as I just didn’t think it was possible to be getting male’s from feminized seeds,that is why I was instantly drawn to this thread, so I personally have still only had females but I’m still getting a lot of stick from my brother, sadly he didn’t take any pictures of the whole plant ,just of it in pieces and so as not to be able to see the whole plant, so again I just put it down to my brother as this can’t happen can it?but I have to say I have always found the ilgm team easy to deal with and I’m sure if my brother had taken the correct pictures for me then the issue would have been dealt with, I have not as of yet had any further problems with my seeds from them apart from when I first started and I was having problems getting them to germinate but all fine now

I would say that yes there is a small possibility of getting a male, every seed can’t be perfect. I know that had this happened to me that I would have taken pictures and got with ilgm sales team because I know that if I ordered female seeds and got a cPl males that ilgm would make it right. This sounds like someone who killed a couple seeds due to grower error and is trying to get them replaced for nothing. But that’s just this mans opinion.
Of course posting something with this tone is going to get negative response and then doing nothing but being a smart a$$ when we’re trying to help. We honestly don’t need people like this on this forum. Now if you would like to check yourself and get some respect, mabey we can help figure out what went wrong. We are a community and when you try to attack one we all take it personal, sense were only trying to help YOU!!! GET YOUR GROW RIGHT

Thanks that is the mature approach to take mistakes do happen and a certain degree of frustration and anger is to be expected and entirely within a persons rights to voice. I am just hoping perhaps there are some pictures so the issue can be confirmed and corrected

Right… without pictures I can say I have a 15 foot plant that I just harvested and got 4.5 lbs from it. Lmao.
But with all ilgm guarentees pictures, documentation, and a email to sales team would have been where I started.
If you have a company offering service like this I’m sure you get the occasional person trying to get something for nothing

That would be like myself, I switched my growing medium, nutrient line and I have lost 3 seeds trying to get everything dialed in, blaming ilgm for my error and learning curve.

So there is a guy in the lab that was afraid he had hermies. He wrote in his grow journal about how he was fighting an overwhelming number of males in his garden. We were sending him our condolences and apologizing cuz we felt bad for him…

And then one day he got mad because he thought he had another male, but this time he posted a picture. It was nothing more than swollen calyxes where you look between the growth shoot and the leaf. He had already chucked 3 plants too and was only about 3 weeks from harvest when he did so.

Being that this is a “support” forum, pictures are worth a thousand words when it comes to getting support. Without pictures, then all the support people are able to provide you with are “I’m sorry” or “better luck next time” kinda support, which I’m sure your not looking for.

I think everyone here truly wants to help, otherwise they wouldn’t be hanging around throughout the day reading threads and post. And I think you truly would like to be helped @Licksore, but without the pictures that these guys are asking for, I’m going to end my post in about the only way they have to answer you too…

Better luck next time

@TDubWilly leashing the attack dogs BEFORE asking for help is smart too.

OK ok… My seeds were duds too. I don’t think I’m gonna get anywhere near 4.5lbs like @Sirsmokes undocumented 15 footer. We should all get free seeds until we can get one like that :wink:

I’m sorry you’re having issues with ILGM seeds. Here at ILGM grow forum we teach all levels of experience.

Not saying that its the case, but newer farmers sometime confuse preflower calyx (female) with male pollen sacs. I would first like to rule this out. Would it be possible to see your garden via pictures?

Hi @Licksore I’m sorry to hear you encountered trouble during your grow. Our sales support dept. can always be contacted in cases like these. Off course they always do require information regarding grow conditions as well as pictures from the plants. I trust you understand that we have to uphold these standard procedures. If you want you can contact the sales support team here.

Kindly,
Roy

This is not a smart a$$ question because I have been looking for some, but does ilgm carry female durban poison seeds? All I have seen are regular seeds…would love some females…

It’s all good you are right ILGM only stocks reg Durban poison and this place is as good as any to ask :wink: I like reg seeds once you learn how to sex plants a single female can be cloned easily enough but I started growing when fem seeds were far from few and far between so reg seeds were what was to be had

I don’t know @Licksore what happened to your seeds from ILGM but everyone that I have received has popped at a :100:% ratio.
I ordered all Fems and they are all Fems. No I don’t work for them and no one is paying any attention to me much less any money. Happy growing friend, their products are fine though.

All I’ve ever ordered from ILGM were female seeds, and what do you know, I haven’t had anything but females
