About ILGM

I Love Growing Marijuana (ILGM) is a U.S.-based cannabis seed bank that has served home cultivators since 2012. Founded by Robert Bergman, who began growing on a small personal scale before working in industrial cultivation and lab settings, ILGM started life as an educational blog before evolving into a full online store in 2015. Today it's recognized as one of the leading cannabis seed retailers in the United States.

ILGM's core focus is making home cultivation approachable for growers of all experience levels. The company pairs its seed catalog — spanning feminized, autoflowering, high-THC, high-yield, and beginner-friendly strains — with a large library of grow guides, troubleshooting resources, and community support, including its own grower forum. It backs its seeds with a germination guarantee, promising replacements if seeds fail to sprout.

The brand grew significantly during the pandemic-era surge in home cultivation and has continued expanding internationally, opening a European office in Amsterdam in 2024 alongside its U.S. operations in Modesto, California. ILGM organizes its team into customer success, finance, cultivation education, digital experience, and marketing groups, reflecting a structure built around both product delivery and grower support.

Distinguishing itself from other seed retailers, ILGM emphasizes its founder's background as an actual grower who supplied Amsterdam coffeeshops before building the company, positioning the brand's expertise as grounded in hands-on cultivation experience rather than purely commercial seed sales. Combined with discreet shipping and ongoing customer support, ILGM presents itself as a resource-driven partner for growers rather than just a seller of seeds.
