𝐒𝐩𝐨𝐭𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐨𝐧 𝐎𝐮𝐫 𝐂𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐬 | 𝐀𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐞 & 𝐂𝐥𝐚𝐫𝐤 (@𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐭𝐇𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐂𝐨𝐮𝐩𝐥𝐞) At ILGM, we’re proud to collaborate with creators who bring authenticity, creativity, and connection to the cannabis community. This week, we’re highlighting Alice and Clark, better known as ThatHighCouple, a duo who’ve turned their shared love for cannabis into a lifestyle followed by thousands. What makes ThatHighCouple stand out is their unique perspective as a cannabis-loving couple. Their followers tune in not just for tips, but for the fun, honesty, and warmth they bring to every video. From “high dates” to grow-room updates, their content captures what this culture is really about, shared experiences, learning, and enjoying the process. Working with them has been an absolute pleasure. Clark’s enthusiasm and openness made even our first virtual grow consultation memorable, we helped them map out lighting and strategy for their home grow setup, and they took every note to heart. We can’t wait to see them thrive in this new chapter. From growing their first ILGM plants to joining workshops and future events, this partnership is just getting started. #ILGM #Creators #Community #ThatHighCouple #Instagram

Spotlight on Our Creators | Vanessa Lavorato (@VanessaMarigold) At ILGM, we’re honored to collaborate with creators who embody education, authenticity, and community. This week, we’re highlighting Vanessa Lavorato, a pioneer in cooking with cannabis and the author of How To Eat Weed And Have A Good Time. We first connected with Vanessa on our Home Grow Tour in Tempe, where she led an inspiring workshop and quickly became a true partner in our mission. Today, she’s producing content around our Seed to Kitchen campaign, spanning YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, and Twitch, showing how home growing can be accessible, fun, and rewarding. What makes Vanessa stand out is her authentic voice and deep community engagement. Her audience doesn’t just watch, they follow along, learn, and grow with her. The response has been incredible: from higher engagement and new followers to customers redeeming codes and sharing their own stories of growing and cooking at home. On a personal level, collaborating with Vanessa has reminded us how powerful it is to work with influencers who are truly passionate about the process. She’s not just sharing content, she’s living it, every day. We’re excited for what’s ahead: from cooking with the plants she grows, to leading future workshops, to helping us connect with an even larger network of creators and educators. Stay tuned, Vanessa is just getting started. #ILGM #Creators #Community #CannabisEducation #SeedToKitchen

𝐈𝐋𝐆𝐌 𝐅𝐨𝐫𝐮𝐦 𝐁𝐮𝐝 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐌𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐡 – 𝐒𝐞𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫 𝐖𝐢𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐫 Our September Bud of the Month goes to 𝐺𝑟𝑜𝑤𝐷𝑜𝑐 with his incredible 𝑊𝘩𝑖𝑡𝑒 𝑅𝑢𝑛𝑡𝑧 𝐹𝑒𝑚𝑖𝑛𝑖𝑧𝑒𝑑 grow. White Runtz, a Gelato X Zkittlez hybrid, is loved for its candy-like flavor, bag appeal, and consistent potency.

Why We Invest in Grower Education At ILGM, we believe that supporting growers goes far beyond supplying seeds. Education and empowerment are key to building a stronger cannabis community. We have introduced a Harvest Guide, a tool aimed at providing assistance to growers who find it hard to know the right time of harvest, which is one of the most challenging tasks of the cultivation of plants. The key factor for us is not just to get increased yields. It is about improving the level of grower's skills in the sector and helping the cultivation process to become more straightforward for everyone. The only way to do this is to merge science with practice. Thus, we convert plant biology findings, for instance, trichome development, to easy-to-follow applications that growers can carry out without doubt. Moreover, we collaborate with a lot of organizations and societies to share knowledge gained over the years in order to support the cannabis ecosystem. Home growers' successes lead to industry progress, so it benefits the entire cannabis ecosystem. This initiative reflects our broader mission: to build not only a trusted seed bank, but also a long-term knowledge for education. Curious to see how we’re approaching this?

Growing cannabis at home just got a whole lot smarter. At ILGM, we’re more than a seed supplier. We’re building the full life cycle of support for independent growers to thrive. Our latest step? The ILGM AI Cannabis Grow Assistant, built on the decades of expertise from our founder and master grower, Robert Bergman. Available 24/7, it combines Robert’s proven grow methods with ILGM’s entire knowledge base and real cultivation science. From germination to harvest, it answers grow questions in real time, diagnoses plant issues, and helps tens of thousands of home growers succeed. This isn’t just a chatbot. It’s the foundation for the future of grower education, smarter support, and AI-driven cultivation tools. Designed to empower. With over 1.2 million customers in the U.S., we’re evolving into a hybrid: trusted seed supplier, knowledge hub, and digital grow companion. We’re not watching the future of home cultivation unfold. We’re shaping it. [Link to Grow Assistant in the comments]
