ILGM
ILGM — I Love Growing Marijuana — was founded in 2012 by Robert Bergman, a Dutch grower who spent years cultivating cannabis for the famous coffee shops of Amsterdam starting in the 1990s. Bergman started his personal growing journey with just five plants, developing hands-on expertise in genetics, cultivation techniques, and seed development before launching ILGM as a platform to share that knowledge with home growers worldwide. What began as a community-focused knowledge hub — where cultivators could exchange growing techniques and best practices — evolved into a full-scale seed bank and educational resource. ILGM breeds many of its own genetics in-house, with Bergman personally selecting and approving each strain in the catalog. Additional strains are sourced through carefully vetted partner breeders. The result is a catalog that prioritises reliability, germination consistency, and grower-friendly genetics over hype. Based in the Netherlands, ILGM ships internationally and has built a reputation for detailed grow guides, beginner-friendly support, and a germination guarantee that backs every seed sold. The company rebranded from ilovegrowingmarijuana.com to ilgm.com and has grown into one of the most recognised seed banks for home growers in North America and Europe.
