When it comes to growing your precious marijuana plants, it goes without saying you want the highest quality feminized seeds to give you the best yield possible. But besides a great product, you want excellent customer service, and to deal with a knowledgeable company that can answer all your questions. Let’s see if I Love Growing Marijuana is a good company to deal with.
In our I Love Growing Marijuana [Review 2021], we will also talk about the beginnings of the company, their mission, team members and writers, some of their products, guides and resources, free grow course, rewards program, customer service, customer reviews, pros and cons, and our final opinion.
Background Information
Table of Contents
Robert Bergman is the founder of I Love Growing Marijuana (ILGM) based out of Amsterdam, in the Netherlands, and loves to write about all things marijuana.
Bergman started his growing marijuana days in the ’90s in Amsterdam and became very passionate about it. He started out small, growing just a few plants at a time, but became so good at it that he branched out into industrial grow rooms and labs.
Eventually, he decided he wanted to get out of the professional side and branch into something where he could take his knowledge and help others. Thus, in 2012, ILGM was born.
Their Mission
Robert Bergman knew what he wanted to do. Instead of growing marijuana, he wanted to share what he knew-knowledge that he had gained over 20 years. He figured the best way to reach many people at once was to create a website with articles about growing marijuana – everything from the type of seeds, to planting and caring, to harvesting the plants.
The next natural step was to provide growers with the seeds to begin their process.
The Team and Writers
This company seems blessed with a 25+ member team who not only knows the marijuana industry inside out but loves to have fun in their daily roles; we get to see the human side of them. For example, customer support member Alex adores his two cats, and writer Bad Ass Grandma Jane rides a Harley and smokes Purple Haze (not at the same time, I am sure)!
Then there is Doris (Dory), the office pet who turned out to be a girl. She loves to snuggle and hang out with team member Stacy between naps.
Not only do these team members run an incredibly efficient company, but they also walk the talk, experiencing the very seeds they sell.

FEMINIZED SEEDS
ILGM stands behind their guarantee. The feminized seeds are guaranteed to become female plants that are necessary to produce THC. This helps you to take the guesswork out of what you are planting, ensuring you have top-quality cannabis seeds.
Feminized seeds produce only female plants, and because every single plant will flower, you can have efficient use of growing space.
On the downside, since the seeds are female, there is no chance of getting more seeds without a male plant to breed them with.
Popular Feminized Seeds: Blue Dream, Girl Scout Cookies Extreme, Super Silver Haze, White Widow, Super Skunk, Blue Haze, Gorilla Glue, and more
AUTOFLOWER SEEDS
These feminized seeds are perfect for the beginner because as the name implies, they will flower automatically. Another great reason to choose auto-flowering plants is their hardiness as they will grow in less-than-perfect conditions.
Autoflower seeds are easy to grow, hardy, don’t need light, can produce more than one harvest in a year, and can be grown indoors or outdoors.
On the downside, they yield less and are not as potent (due to lack of light and time).
Popular Auto Flower Seeds: Girl Scout Cookies, Blueberry, Cool Leaf, Gorilla Glue, White Widow
BEGINNER SEEDS
We ALL have to start somewhere, right? Well ILGM makes it easy for you. Growing your own cannabis can be fun and rewarding. Buying feminized seeds can make your life a lot easier since you don’t have to worry about separating the males.
ILGM will provide you with all the information you need – from buying seeds to the type of seeds to the equipment you need, where to plant them, how to care for them, and how to harvest them.
Popular Beginner Seeds (feminized and autoflower): White Widow, Super Skunk, Granddaddy Purple, Bruce Banner Autoflower, Banana Kush Autoflower, Girl Scout Extreme Autoflower, Zkittlez Autoflower, Gelato Autoflower, AK-47, Lowryder Autoflower, Wedding Cake, White Widow Autoflower
HIGH YIELD SEEDS
Of course, you want the most for your buck, right? These seeds promise a huge harvest but you must be prepared to put a little elbow grease in it (or your green thumbs). These are probably best for the experienced grower.
Another great feature of high-yield seeds is the fact that in some states you are limited to the number of plants you can grow but not the harvest.
So to sum it up, high-yield seeds can produce up to 400 grams per plant so you are getting the most from your plants-great if you are limited in plant numbers or space-and a high-quality harvest.
The downside is that they will require some effort and work on your part.
Popular High Yielding Seeds (feminized): Big Bud, Trainwreck, Girl Scout Cookies Extreme, Blue Dream, Super Skunk, Green Crack, California Dream, Super Lemon Haze, Chronic Widow, Sour Diesel, Gold Leaf, Strawberry, Gelato, and more
HIGH CBD SEEDS
If you prefer seeds that are higher in CBD, ILGM can provide these also.
Popular High Yield CBD Seeds: Og Kush, White Widow Autoflower, Critical Mass Autoflower, Carma, Strawberry Kush, Blueberry, White Widow, Harlequin

Marijuana is also a medicinal plant used for some types of treatments in some cultures. Although it is still not approved by the governments and continues being seen as an illegal substance, which it is, but used properly it actually helps like any other medication. I did not know it was a combination of several plants and weeds.
More and more people are turning to cannabis instead of pharmaceutical drugs to help manage their daily wellness routine. There is more to the eye than just a plant. It is a very interesting subject indeed and will continue to be so for quite some time.
This review is very thorough and informative! I’ve never known anything about the process of growing marijuana, much less the fact that you need to use feminized seeds to grow female plants in order to get them to produce the necessary flowers. This was a super cool piece of knowledge. The website that you are reviewing does seem to be very knowledgeable and the team very good at their craft. I feel like they are the real deal for sure.
Thanks for stopping by and I am glad you found the review helpful. I don’t think a lot of people realize what goes into growing your plants – it’s more than sticking a few seeds in the ground and letting nature do the rest. Yes, it is very important to have female plants if you are looking for THC. When you get a minute browse around their site; there is so much information available.
