Seeds i purchased from ILGM questionable

I purchased these from ILGM. Theres only 19 in the tube and they look bad. These look like unhealthy runt seeds. Is it me or are NYC Desiel seeds supposed to look like this?
Also, i contacted customer service a few days ago concerning this and i never got a reply.
Im a little upset about this. Not so much the missing seed but they look terrible.

Hey bro I’d also not b bothered by one seed. Bit they look good to me. I found pale dry seeds dont do well for me. Got 5 strains lately seeds were big and dark, small and dark, big and pale. Get a second opinion - I might need a lesson on seed inspection

Mine always came in a plastic bag, i could dump them out and they would look comparable with yours, I have strains from other vendors and they’re seed look like yours.

mine came in a small ziplock bag less than three weeks ago.
I don’t see that code on the ILGM list.

The seeds look normal to me. What do you think is odd about them? Seeds vary in size. You could call out customer service for the missing one.

Did they change packaging?

NYD-FP20 is a competitor’s code, not ILGM’s.

Check with HGCC’s customer service!

All of my seeds have been various sizes. My opinion is size of a seed makes no discernible difference on how they grow. I’ve had all different sized seeds fail just same as successful ones.

The packaging has changed from the small ziplocks. Last order I had a mix of bags and small canisters you see above. I prefer the canisters myself.

I’m sure they’re backed up between the seed sales and the holiday. I’m certain they’ll get back to you.

No changes on packaging that im aware of. Also worth noting that in my experience smaller seeds create better plants than larger seeds. Small doesn’t mean unhealthy.

This plant was from an ILGM “small seed.”

I guess im just worried… this is the first time i ever actually had to pay for seeds and it feels like im buying the egg carton instead of the eggs on this one. I sunk a decent amount of change on a few seeds. This was unheard of when i was growing up with the stuff. Getting seeds in your bag was a bum deal back then.
The Mowie Wowie seeds are a little better looking than these… i hope they germinate.

I wouldnt worry to much. ILGM sticks to the germination gaureente Guarantee!

These ones are all small and dark, like they are the last picks off the bottom of the barrel after all the best looking ones were gone. Not one has any tiger stripes on its shell… i was just worried i might have gotten the “ify” seeds after all the juicy ones were sold off… but them again ive had very healthy looking seeds never germinate while the ones i thought wouldn’t did… we’ll see i guess.

This is one good thing… ill just make sure i do it the way they recommend buy letting them sit in a glass of water for 24 hours. I never germinated like this before. I always use the wet paper towel in a box in a dark closet method.

That’s the first glass tube I’ve seen ILGM use. I know they just started using the plastic pouches with their logo, and throw the bags with seeds in them, but I’ve not seen this packaging from ILGM. I just got a 10pk of Cherry Pie 2 weeks ago.

The last mix pack i bought, one strain came in the tube. Rest have been in little baggies with the strain and order info on it. Forgot to say that earlier as well :sweat_smile:
That has been probably over a month now tbh.

Its actually a plastic tube with a food grade rubber plug. It is pretty convenient. They must use some kind of automatic dispenser, like a gum ball machine or something to count out the seeds because it shorted me one seed. I bought a pack of 10 get 10 free. Well, 9 free in my case and they look like secondary seeds that had issues matureing or didnt get the chance to mature completely. One of the 2…i just hope they will germinate. Thats all that matters. I know its not the size of the seed that makes a big plant but these don’t even have any mature tiger stripes on them. These look like the seeds i used to pick out of my dime bags of Columbian Gold and smash them between my thumb and index finger. We used to hate seeds back then. LOL…
