ILGM / Barney / Sensi is a new entity in 2025. With barney at the commands ^^
IPO, we are not in front of another “unknown legend” but a true structure with volumes.
8€/seed in average at ILGM, and they sell the fuck for this grade/price (remind the IPO to your ego, if any). The same we bought 1.5-2.5 bucks/seed 20 years ago.
It’s telling a lot more than the old fart saying in loop that he got, back in the days, one elite a pack with Sensi ^^
Curious how theyre going to differentiate each brand. Currently they all kinda mostly fall into the same price category, with ILGM having some cheaper options. Crazy how much they’re charging for seeds being white label.
They don’t really need anything else than branding now you know, the public they are aiming is barely able to figure out that they grow the same shit twice. It’s a global equation, i’m not mocking.
Their support will stay on germination and “why cannabis is not a water lily” mostly, and not “i shared the grow of my beans with vets holding the cuts supposed to be used in the line … and i feel diddyied the fuck, i don’t know why”.
A kind of UFO in the white label game. It’s a kind of sales force / support force with a very specific niche.
“EU based” (NL) but that is aiming only the US customers, with a bunch of drones in USA in rented coworking spaces, to manage the dispatch. But beside barney/sensi, they are just selling and they will be used as logistic for barney/sensi stocks.
With the three you have in fact the full chain : sales force (ILGM), white label (barney), wholesaler (sensi).
Barney’s started his lineup with Sensi buddy, and ILGM were their B2B customers since their start too … it’s quite organical beside the apparences.
I don’t see a problem with it, all 3 are extinct in terms of any impact on the weed game
Everything I grew from Barney’s was shit in the last few years
I bet ILGM is even worse
Also why pay so much for seeds without any history behind them ? No pictures no grow logs no nothing lol
I rather buy F2s from strainly for pennies.
Why the hell is sensi merging with those 2? Boo! Theyve been irrelevant for quite a while but damn. For the younger growers out there sensi offered all the classics, and probably half of whats out there today. Im growing shiva skunk right now. Hell maybe i should grab a few old classics before this merger deal.
But not specially for someone brand new … and specially if you get a 24/7 support on all your newb questions.
Now two third of their volume are autofems that look like to have won the reputation of “herm fiesta” over the web. Let’s say what Sensi can’t sell and that Barney can’t sell, ILGM can
You nailed it, generic seeds. And people like them so much that these three labels reunited will be quoted in stock market … i’m on the ass on this part.
That’s the point of the merging in fact. Now you have to know a bit the Sensi’s schism, it’s Ben dronkers himself that passed the CEO torch to Barney. And not to one of his sons, the three have killed Sensi while he was working on hemp flax lol ^^
It’s less sexy that dramas of stolen/relabeled cuts/storytelling … but this scene have its own dramas too ^^
My favorite skunk hybrid, hand down. Now folks have to be ready to fight against the fall of grade of Sensi, it’s a bit more than cracking a pack on their almost whole catalog now. You have to inbred their reg today to clean and heal them.
And if the Sensi grade is falling … it’s in fact a myriad of collateral damages on seedbanks not presented as WL ^^ Just go surf on the biggest Dutch WL, they don’t even care to don’t use the web material of Sensi (it’s delivered unbranded in a zip file lol) and it’s very easy to spot.
But not for those that have totally rejected the transmission … ILGM even tell to americans that the AK47 is from USA ^^ Education is the nerve of the war for me in these shitty “cost co” times, that’s the key to stop this madness.
Great information and ya you would have your mind blown if you saw how many people grow ilgm. They obviously dont do reserach lol. I dint get it it takes so much time to grow your own why skimp on the genetics? Makes no sense to me, and no offense to ilgm people. My intent isnt to belittle yall
When it comes to the states I’m not surprised about anything
I’m willing to bet most of those people just typed weed seeds in Google and bought the ones on the 3 top results
A lot of people who didn’t go through the trials and tribulations of the weed game think it’s like ordering and growing tomatoes.
I just feel sorry it’s 90% of all the people worldwide that act and have this mentality.
I reckon its kinda like DeWalt buying up all the bargin brands and then using their name to pedal products that are "good enough " but not that great to the uninitiated. Its a sound business model i guess.
Sensi Seeds = History, Reputation, Genetic Library & Ability to Claim
Possession of Genetics from the 70’s & Onwards without too much resistance to Authenticity
ILGM = A foot on American Soil… They’re hope is that
ILGM will become a Popular & Trusted Forum, Where they control the Narrative ; Peddle Their Products & generate Add Revenue…
Its Vital they Earn or Create a Solid Reputation in the worlds Current Mecca of Cannabis Genetics, America…A Win on American soil will Boost Sales Worldwide…Without an Increase of Grassroot Supporters, & Rep in North America this Merger will be considered a failure!
Just my 2 cent & what I get from reading the article…
Thats exactly what happens. Too bad they dont realize there bottom level at best f2s. Regardless its there choice theyll find out later on in there growing journey.
Kind of funny to me now.
A local grow shop, started offering Barneys seeds, last year or so.
They have them under the glass counter, and they store them, on a door mounted shelf, that would simply close the closet door. Like a spice rack, if you will.
When I said to the dude, why you do not store them in the cold, a small refrigerator, as seed viability drops just sitting in packs, as opposed to sitting in the cold, in their packs.
Barneys told him, storing them under the counter would be just fine for the seeds. There would no viability issues at all.
I told him that is nonsense.
I then asked how many he sold, he just said a only a few, but he received no feed back about bad germination rates. H’mm well ok man!
I’d not accept free seeds from any of those three houses myself.
I dont think so bro , im 99% sure barney started his seed company with Reeferman making the seeds or selling him the seeds, as Reeferman turned up in Amsterdam 1 year and had Reeferman strains at Barneys Coffeshop and Amnesia Coffeshop ( Barneys wife), then after that Barneys farm seeds was started, with many similar strains to Reeferman, but Reeferman and Derry fell out after that.
Maybe Derry ( barney) used sensi seeds to make all the seeds after that since then, as im talking about years back when Barney farms started/dropped seeds for the 1st time
