Why all the hate with ILGM 🧬

[patrick1960]

I see this alot on FB. A random negative ILGM comment with no context. A few ILGM growers responded I blacked out names to protect the innocent my comment is I grew 9 plants and all went well. A few others chimed in.

The facebook pages are often sponsored by growers, competitor bashing is not uncommon…Cheap tactics, IMHO

Its more of a smoke screen, ive had great results with my ILGM strains and will continue to do so. I have other vendor beans some are as goid at the Genetics and others no. They all grow so different we do play a major part of it.

ILGM seeds are definitely solid. Too many good plants to be bad seeds.

The Phylos genetics is a bad look. I have heard it mentioned in no less than 5 top cannabis podcasts in the last 2 weeks. Nothing but hatred and disdain. I had never heard ILGM mentioned in a podcast before except in neutral shout outs. Never in a negative way. Well, the horse manure has come out and they are throwing it at ILGM hard for pairing up with phylos.

Phylos is the worst example of bad faith bait and switch. I would not be surprised if someday their headquarters got burned down from the hatred they left behind in the legacy cannabis community. They collected genetics from growers for years to crowd source genetics to prevent patenting of small breeder unique cannabis genetics from corporate overlords.

Then, hired a corporate overlord from big pharma, fired all the people that cared about cannabis, and said we are going to use your genetics to breed now. Tough luck all you losers that trusted us and submitted samples to phyllos in good faith.

The final irony, is I wouldn’t be one bit surprised if phylos genetics were the first effort to come out and start patenting all the classic cannabis strains. I’m just waiting for that in the news reel.

It’s like if Churchill and Roosevelt overlooked the natzis because they had everyone’s else’s fire genetics for sale. Not a good example, but about the same amount of bad karma.

7 years spider mites and aphids to anyone who grows those bad karma seeds. Yikes.

Bad bad look ILGM

You’re not wrong about Phylos but patenting strains is bullshit anyway. That just protects originator from others recreating and selling as original. I would be more concerned about gmo varieties that are resistant to breeding altogether.

I think most people judge them off their photos they have on their website which is why I messaged ilgm to use some of our photos of their stands on their website eye candy draws the people in also asked about starting a breeding program to make new crosses

No hate here but the new seed collaboration deal has been a stinker for me. been growing for 8+ years (just one plant at a time) bought two of the new collab seeds (Cheddar Cheeze) and just before they would have matured, they grew new shoots and now the plants are big and sparse on flower and NO signs of maturing, just tons of leaves. I reached out to ILGM and they said to not cut off new growth but let it keep growing…they’ve been in dirt since April!!

[Tonimhorrace]

I wish I had read this before I paid $$$$ and grew them and they are crap. Sprouted a ton of new leafs before plant matured and now it is mostly all leaves. UGH.

She is in pre flower

@Tonimhorrace

they’ve been in dirt since April!!

Started from seed outside or started indoors and transplanted outside in April?

[Tonimhorrace]

started from seed indoors (I usually grow from seed to harvest in my tent, but this one got way too tall, too close to the light, so outside they went). They were flowering already when I took them outside. ILGM just responded and verified what I thought, the plants are revegging, probably from outdoor street lights. The first time they told me not to cut off new growth…today I cut it all off and put back in tent…pretty frustrating, and probably not the fault of the seed, but my fault.

[dbrn32]

The reveg was fairly obvious from pictures, this is the reason i was asking. I don’t think it’s related to street lights but more likely from being mature and moved outside too early in the season.

When you veg on something like 18 hour schedule and move outside to something like 12-15 hours of daylight the difference in light time is enough to induce flowering. But since the daylight hours are still increasing in the spring the plant that has gone into flower will eventually identify this and go back into veg. It’s very tricky to move plants from inside to outside early in the season.

[DoneDeal]

great explanation on that one Sir!!!
@dbrn32

[Tonimhorrace]

So,…. Did what was my first instinct and removed the new growth and stuck back in the tent for 12/12 lights. I’ll keep y’all posted
