Showcase of ILGM's Growers

Latest WinnerHall of Fame

Every month on the ILGM Forum, growers share one photo of the bud they’re most proud of. The community votes, and the winner earns $100 in store credit.

At its core, Bud of the Month is about celebrating growers and the incredible plants they’ve nurtured from seed to flower.

Why It Matters

Bud of the Month is more than a contest. It’s a reflection of what makes the ILGM Forum special: growers supporting each other, showing off their successes, and celebrating the plants they’ve grown with care.

Each entry started as a seed and ended up here — part of a shared tradition that continues month after month.
