About ILGM

Hello! I’m Robert Bergman. I’m a marijuana growing enthusiast and the founder of ILGM. I’ve spent the last 25 years learning everything there is to know about growing marijuana. When I started growing I was in a home-based setup where 5-plants were all I had space to grow!

I’ve grown a lot since then (pun intended). I’ve run industrial-sized plantations and labs where we bred newer,

better, and more reliable strains. Then, after years of large-scale growing, I had an idea. I wanted to share my knowledge of growing weed-and I had a lot (nearly two decades worth). In that time I’ve dealt with every issue imaginable. Now it’s time to share everything I’ve learned through my Weed Grow Bible and I Love Growing Marijuana!
