It’s crazy people say they don’t sell the strains they claim. It makes no sense that they outline how to grow each specific strain, and give a lot of information about each strain. What would be the point of this if every strain they sell grows way differently than what they outline on their website?
It's not crazy at all. Example, Sour Diesel no longer exists in seed form. Clones would be your only option. If you buy Sour Diesel seeds online, you're getting something else that's not Sour Diesel. That's not unique to ILGM, it's just a fact. Many of the strains they sell are like that. OG Kush? same thing. And many others.
ILGM outsources their seed making to Spain (as do many, many others). In some cases they have legit clones to work with, often times they do not. They tend to favor plant vigor and what produces the most pollen. For example, they might have a mom that turns purple, produces a ton of pollen, and doesn't herm at all. Great, now we can reverse that mom and use it for our blueberry, purple punch, purple urkle, etc etc Point is you never know what you're getting exactly because these places are not 100% forthcoming about the genetics they're using.
I'm not trying to bash on ILGM. They're a bulk bean outfit. They are no different than RQS or Seedsman. All those places are like the Walmart of seeds. It is what it is.
If you want true genetics, you need to do your research. Either track the down the legit clone, or find breeders that have worked with the legit clone. This is why Bodhi and CSI are so popular around here, because we all know the clones they use are the legit real deals. At best the Euro breeders have by and large proven themselves untrustworthy regarding their genetics. It is well known.
You might find some great plants in ILGM seeds. Nothing wrong them and I have no reason to discourage you from buying ILGM seeds, but you should at least be armed with the truth so you can make an informed decision regarding the genetics you want in your garden.
