Why Partnerships Matter for Home Growers At ILGM, we know that a great home grow experience begins with great genetics but that’s only part of the story. What truly makes the difference for homegrowers is access. Access to trusted breeders. Access to stable strains. Access to education and support along the way. Over the past year, we’ve had the privilege of collaborating with some of the most respected names in the space, including Green Bodhi, Colors by Cultivar, and Happy Valley Genetics. These partnerships are rooted in shared values: Genetic integrity Education-first approaches A commitment to helping homegrowers thrive Together, we’ve brought exclusive seed drops and carefully selected strains to our community making genetics once reserved for professionals available to everyday growers. These aren’t just collaborations. They’re long-term efforts to raise the standard for what homegrowing can be. If you're a breeder or platform aligned with that mission, we’d love to connect. Let’s grow something meaningful together.
About us
At ILGM, we’re proud to be the Home of the Growers. Since 2012, we’ve been on a mission to empower people to grow, offering the best seed genetics, expert guidance, and a vibrant community to support cultivators of all levels. ILGM was founded by Robert Bergman, who started his journey with just five plants. After nearly two decades of growing experience — from industrial grows to home setups — he launched ILGM to share his passion and knowledge with the world’s cannabis community. What began as a small operation dedicated to premium seeds and expert advice has become the most trusted name in cannabis home cultivation. Fast forward to 2025, and ILGM has delivered millions of seeds, supported countless growers, and become a hub of knowledge and innovation. Whether you’re planting your first seed or refining your craft, we’re here to ensure every home grower feels empowered and every harvest thrives. At ILGM, we believe every seed has the potential to grow something amazing — and together, we’ll make it happen.

How We’re Removing Barriers to Entry For Good At ILGM, we believe that the biggest unlock for the cannabis industry isn’t just legislation. It’s stigma. Every day, we hear from people who want to grow but don’t know how, don’t know where to start, or don’t feel like they belong in the space. That’s a missed opportunity. For them. For the industry. For all of us. So we asked: What if growing at home didn’t require confidence, just curiosity? What if the barrier to entry was as low as a single seed and a little sun? This is why we’re rethinking how education, seed access, and community support work together. Through: Beginner-first content across channels Strategic partnerships with cutting edge breeders An expanding team of educators and community leaders Because the future of homegrowing isn’t just about great genetics. It’s about making sure the next generation of growers feels welcomed, equipped, and empowered. And that starts with how we as an industry choose to show up. Let’s seed the next generation together.

How We’re Reimagining the Cannabis Learning Curve Starting your first grow shouldn't feel like decoding a science experiment. And yet for many beginners that’s exactly what it feels like. At ILGM, we believe education should be simple, supportive, and stigma-free. That’s why we’ve spent the past year investing in one thing: clarity. Clarity in our guides. Clarity in our seed info. Clarity in how we show up across platforms. From bite-sized grow tips on TikTok to deep-dive resources on our website, everything we share is built with one goal: To help more people say “yes” to growing and feel confident doing it. Because when knowledge is accessible, homegrowing becomes not just possible… but powerful. And we’re just getting started.

Why So Many First-Time Growers Never Start We talk to growers every day and one thing keeps coming up: “I’ve always wanted to grow… but I don’t know where to start.” Sometimes it’s fear of doing it wrong. Sometimes it’s confusion around laws. Sometimes it’s just not knowing which seed to choose. At ILGM, we believe starting is the real milestone. That first soil in the pot. That first sprout. That first grow, perfect or not. And we’re here to make that beginning less intimidating, and more empowering. So if you’ve ever said “someday”… Maybe today’s the day you plant something.
