It seems like one of the main issues here is that people don't know where to buy their seeds. I'm not here to hate on ILGM but if you are looking for legit seed banks here is a list of all the banks I have ordered from and had no issue:

Neptune Seed Bank
Supreme Seed Bank
Heritage Seed Bank
Deeply Rooted Seed Bank
D.C Seed Exchange (Found my B.O.G seeds here as a newbie right around the time he passed, rest his soul)
Great Lakes Genetics
MMJ Glass Pro
JBC Seeds
Seedbank For Humanity
Mephisto (If you can catch them)
Rocbud Inc (If he ever restocks. His autos are fire.)

Hope this helps someone.
Thanks. Any suggestions for the true skunk strains, the ones that are supposed to no longer be in existence?

Look for CSI and Top Dawg Seeds at the banks I showed you. You can check The Seed Source and Harvest Mutual Seed Bank too. I've ordered from both and they are professional.

I know Top Dawg has the following available if you e-mail him:
Colorado Super Skunk (Mass Super Skunk X Star Dawg/Basic Skunk) and Cassidy (CO Super Skunk X MSS/Skunk 18)

Good stuff! That dead skunk ( I heard that it used to be called Road kill ) is what I would like to experience. Everyone says that it was the shizzzz!
Thanks!

Haven't tried them yet but Humboldt CSI specializes in old school strains including Skunk and "Christmas tree" of 1979. I remember that old skunk that you couldn't carry it in your pocket/car it was so loud. And not many anymore remember real Christmas tree. Like smoking pine. And that old skunk smelled and tasted exactly like a damned skunks ass.

I'm back again. Going by comparison from DC seed exchange to ILGM. So far, ILGM strains are doing best. These are landrace and older strains, which I'm really disappointed in DC seed exchange. If you order and get freebies, toss the freebies in the garbage, where they belong. Nothing is free. The only good thing from DC seed exchange is train wreck from Humboldt seeds. I'll get more detailed later but, I've learned, most people complaining about ILGM are germination issues, which they guarantee. I just tossed my seeds in the dirt. Out of 30, I got 29. Every plant is healthy and flowering now, northern lights and Durban Poison. I'll be back

I haven't had any problems germinating ilgm beans. I haven't had any trouble growing them to midflower. Most of trouble I had was my fault. My only issue is the finished product. Maybe it's because they were autos, but I've grown alot of bagseed over the years and recently that blew their stuff away taste and smell wise. I will say if you grow their gg4 auto that shit grows superfast. And even though I had to harvest a month early, it still stones the shit outta us. Keep us updated on your grow eh?

I'm back again. Now that I'm going into bud stage, and I went back to read ILGM description of northern lights, supposed to too out at 28 inches, and is indica dominant, which most of them are 6 feet and taller, and looks like pure sativa. Also, my Durban Poison looks like half my plants are sativa and the other half looks like indica. Some are over 6 feet and others are under 4 feet. Some are future into bud stage with colas and others has nubs. In my last report, I said I was disappointed in DC seed exchange, which I'm actually coming around to less disappointed. I was referring to seeds not popping and a lot of males, which came from regular trainwreck and Jedi mind trip. Now that I have 9 out of 20 trainwreck females and 5 out of 10 Jedi mind trip, at least they all seem to have the right charactistics and growing consistently. I sent ILGM an email, asking why my plants don't fit their description, which we had a debate about the appearance of the seeds when I got them. I'm waiting for an answer. I'm very curious what kind of bs they will throw at me this time. I know people has had success from their seeds, but seemingly all newer strains, not landrace. I believe, if they don't have it, they just give you whatever. The plants looks great, but I don't know what I got.

I will agree in that for one reason or another sometimes strains have to be getting mixed up. My last gg4 turned purple in warm Temps, and smells like their ww auto. Their genetics are very unstable. I won't b.s. , I just got over 1/2 pound outta 200w over 3 plants all forced harvested 2-4 weeks early each.. Pests , mildew and all but the taste and look just ain't there. I'm sure I can do better with beans from real America breeders instead of Spanish grab bag beans.

Mine are outside. I went for mold resistant strains, because I live in a humid climate area. So far, no fungus, knocking on wood! I do have bugs, which I've been fighting for the past couple of days. I think I'm winning the war lol. More forgiving outside, but mold and mildew is the worst. Trainwreck is supposed to very mild resistant. It doesn't get tall, so that's a plus in my opinion.

Thank you for that, he's linked with Pacific Seed Bank, who I'll never use again. There are two seed banks I've used without any problems MSNL and AMS, 100%. With these two, and where I live goes through Shitcago. Now I use my mothers address in Canada, I do not have ANY MORE PROBLEMS. MY Bruce Banner Auto and BB feminized will be in my Birthday care package ✔

Sounds good. I've never had pests indoors until these autos. ILGM declares wwauto and gg4 auto to be "very pest and mold resistant". They aren't. Now I know. I've already bombed and bleached my space. BTW your plants look good

Thanks, the trainwreck is my favorite. I'm up early to go take care of them soon. This one is supposed to be Durban Poison. I have others that looks completely different.

True. I managed to beat off spider mites with a combination of spinosad,pyrethrins, and rosemary/peppermint oil sprays. One thing for the noobs out there reading. I now wash my harvested plants in a big container. Distilled water with couple teaspoons baking soda and a couple tablespoons lemon juice. When you see all the crap that washes off you might be grossed out.lol. I don't want to smoke pesticides or tiny dead bugs. I hate to think what I was smoking before, when buying commercial stuff.

Looks good! Yeah, it is crazy how many different phenos come from the same pack. You sure can't be sure what you're gonna get with ,"El ILGM" and their Spanish seeds. Good luck . Keep us updated eh?

Ive ordered from Ilgm twice and had no issues getting seeds, germination 95% and I got breeder packs. I havent ordered seeds in about two years so Im not sure if the Chit-Cago customs seed thieves are still working over time like they were in 2010-2016 era for me thats my biggest concern. Other than that I bought some Mowie Wowie, Chocolope and they were what he said they were! They werent amazing but good.
