(Please contact us @ leemallett45@sky.com to have your web link added here if you are selling our strains but not listed above)

EAZY SEEDS

The next project is to create a new menu here for the Eazy Seeds collection, a selection of strains known for being easy to grow, stress free and very rewarding and are also priced slightly below the BSB Genetics range. A great collection for those who like the old school classics, fast finishing cash croppers and stinky skunks.

MAGAZINE ISSUE #3
This year, due entirely to Covid-19 lockdown, has been almost a complete write off for most businesses, many of them sadly could not survive the colossal impact of being forcibly closed down for so long and have ceased trading. So right now, over 3 months after lockdown measures were lifted, and those of us who survived could re-open our premises, we are still feeling the effects of lockdown with current trade not yet close to the levels we were experiencing prior to lockdown.
My business survived the lockdown period relatively unscathed as the retail premises I planned to open from around the end of March quite clearly could not happen after the March 23rd lockdown act came into force.
So the updates ‘so far’ for the next magazine issue will be based on winning 1st placed Best Seeds Bank on February 28th at the Hemp & CBD Expo, the opening of the new business premises and the launch of the 6 new BSB Genetics strains.
However I took the decision to not launch issue #3 this month due to the lack of foot fall and because we still have the majority of stocks of magazine issue #2 left to first hand out due to the business being closed for so long.

LIMITED EDITION HALLOWEEN SECRET STRAIN IDEA…
Who would like the chance to purchase a very limited edition spooky halloween strain with top secret genetics and frightening potency for a bargain price?
For a bit of fun I am looking to launch a very limited halloween strain which will be limited until stocks either sell out or the last day of November, which ever comes first.
I ran a few halloween limited edition varieties a few years ago (Skeleton Jack, Corpse Kush, Critical Shock, Zombie Haze etc) and the response was fantastic so now I’m itching to do the same again.
Any unsold seeds will be donated at the end of the promotion to good causes through activists I already work with, so my goal will be to recoup my outlay and have fun at the same time while spreading some spooktacular cheer.

Cheers, Lee

Website Issue Fixed – We are back!

APOLOGIES FOR WEBSITE BEING DOWN
Firstly I would like to apologise to all who have been unable to easily source the details for my new strains here and to those also who are just adding BSB Genetics to their own catalogues who also could not get in here to retrieve the information you needed.
There was a technical issue with the website and the host, to get my website back online around a week ago, deleted what’s known as an ‘ecommerce plugin’ but forgot to tell me this would completely erase all my product pages, in short there would be no seeds for sale on here to view, just the ‘contact us’ and ‘blog’ pages as it has been for the last week.
However, far from being a technical wizard, today I have managed to find the route cause of the problem, update what’s known as a websites ‘PHP’ and that then allowed me to re-install the vital updated ‘ecommerce plugin’ and luckily still be able to retrieve all the historical data.
So in short my website is back!

NEW STRAINS GOING LIVE
I have today added Blackberry Rocks and The Runtz to the “BSB feminised” menu and still have 4 more strains to add which I’m working on and they will all be here asap, so please keep checking back if you require the photographs and information for each of those strains for your own websites or if you simply want to view them to decide which strain is right for you.

New Strains Now In & Website Issues

Firstly: Website Issues?

For reasoning beyond me this last couple of days I have had problems with my website. Initially the site went down due to a plug in error (technical issues). My web host disabled the plugin yesterday allowing the site to open. However the site is open again but now missing all product pages? I will be chasing this up.

I’m very used to being attacked by website hosts, banks, landlords etc for the crime of legally working within the canna world, so if this is another attempt to suppress me please rest assured it will, as have all others, fail!

New Strains – Exciting Times

Late August has seen the launch of no less than 7 new strains and our loyal customers have already gone nuts to get their hands on them.
Amongst them is the current most in demand Californian strain and 2 of the highest THC producing strains on the planet! They are:

BLACKBERRY ROCKS
THE RUNTZ
STRAWBERRY BANANA
MIMOSA
SUPER NOVA OG
VANILLA FROSTING
DO-SI-DOS

Each Strain retails at £38.99 per 5 or £64.99 per 10 feminised seeds with Strawberry Banana and Do-Si-Dos coming in slightly cheaper at £34.99 per 5 or £59.99 per 10 feminised seeds.
These strains are set to launch online throughout our official distributors from September 1st with current stock levels very limited so be quick if interested.

New Store Now Open – Seeds from just £1 !!!

NEW STORE
Our new store is located back at our previous premises we occupied from 2014 to 2018 2 doors away from The Clock Cafe on Northfield High Street. We are still without new shop signage so please currently look out for ‘S&J Jewellery’ ….while here you can also have your watch batteries replaced, straps changed or adjusted and also get your Gold or Silver jewellery repaired, so feel free to bring it all along 😀

BSB Genetics
896 Bristol Road South
Northfield
Birmingham
B31 2NS

Tel: 0121 604 0040
Open Mon – Fri / 10:00 – 5:00

Instagram @bsb_genetics

Parking is located opposite The Clock Cafe, a small retail carpark where you have 1 hour 15 minutes free parking.

BSB MAGAZINE ISSUE #2
Issue #2 of our BSB Genetics magazine is now available in store featuring our 2 new CBD strains ‘CBD Starburst’ & ‘CBD Night Nurse’ (only available exclusively from us). Every page has been updated and keeps you up to date with the latest goings on with all things BSB Genetics. Magazines are free with purchases of our seeds or just £1.99 per copy. Be sure to pop in and grab yours as numbers are limited and popularity is high.

EAZY SEEDS – NEW STRAINS
New strains are going to be released soon into our Eazy Seeds collection but we are keeping tight lipped on those additions for now as we build up the anticipation. Prices will be £24.99 per 5 or £44.99 per 10 feminised seeds in line with the rest of the collection with bulk discounts also available.

AUTO SEEDS PRICE INCREASE
Unfortunately our breeding partner has increased the cost of our seeds as of March 2020 due to rising costs at their end. To minimalise the price increase I have taken the decision to only increase the cost of the auto seeds range which are now £34.99 per 5 or £59.99 per 10 seeds (previously £28.99 / £49.99). This increase helps us to recover our own costs but is not generating any extra profit for us, this decision was taken primarily keeping our customers in mind. Bulk prices across the board are also affected and this site will be edited to show the new pricing structures shortly.

OFFERS / DISCOUNTED SEEDS CLEARANCE SALE £1-£2 PER SEED!
Please pop in store to see which strains are still available. Our entire collection is available and levels are reducing daily in our biggest ever clearance sale. Don’t miss this one off chance to grab seeds such as Bruce Banner, Wedding Cake and Blue Cheese from just £1 each!
Please pop in as we cannot update over the phone or via messaging on remaining stocks and sales are cash over the counter only.

CASH SALES ONLY
Please bring cash with you as we cannot accept bank cards or any other form of payment due to the ongoing discrimination against our trade from our banking partners, PayPal, Stripe etc which is why we cannot accept online transactions. We do not accept cash in the post as we do not know the age of the person we could be serving and also for security reasons. There are several leading high street banks within a short distance of our store if you do need to visit a bank or a cash withdrawal machine.

DISCREET SHOPPING IN OUR STORE
We will soon have window frosting in place across the front of our store so you can shop with us in privacy and the the exterior of the shop will not show anything but our BSB Genetics brand name and opening hours so you can feel relaxed entering and shopping with us. Please call us first before visiting to check on stock levels if you know exactly which seeds you are after and how many you require.

Cheers, Lee & Jon

New Store Opening ‘Soon’ in Northfield

NEW ADDRESS
We are moving back into our previous premises on Northfield high street, right opposite the store that was closed down last July @ BSB Genetics, 896 Bristol Rd South, Birmingham, B31 2NS, Tel: 0121 604 0040.

CORONAVIRUS SETBACK
Unfortunately due to the current complete lockdown we may be unable to open on time, the planned opening being around the start of June, only time will tell, fingers crossed.

3rd CUP WIN & SHOW SUCCESS
We again took home 1st place for ‘Best Seed Bank’ at the 3rd edition of the Hemp & CBD Expo on Feb 29th and March 1st, again going toe to toe with Dinafem / Humboldt Seeds. A special home will be made in the new store for our growing collection of trophies 😀 The show was an overwhelming success and on the back of that Ive secured unit double the size to keep in line with the growth of BSB Genetics.

MAKING A PURCHASE THROUGHOUT LOCKDOWN
Our distribution partners are working tirelessly and safely behind closed doors to ensure supply of our seeds continues to reach all online outlets, so your online orders should not be affected.
Here is a list of sites you can purchase BSB Genetics seeds from:

Zamnesia: https://www.zamnesia.com/449-bsb-genetics
Seed City: https://www.seed-city.com/bsb-genetics
Weedworld: https://www.weedworld.co.uk/buy-cannabis-seeds/b-s-b-genetics.html
Chosen Seeds: https://chosenseeds.com/seed-bank/bsb-genetics/
Just Feminised: https://www.justfeminized.com/b-s-b-genetics-seeds-693-c.asp
Sensible Seeds: https://www.sensibleseeds.com/bsb-genetics-seeds/
Popular Seeds: https://www.popularseeds.com/bsb-genetics

KEEPING STOCKED UP
We received a huge batch of seeds yesterday which should see us through the coming months to ensure supplies don’t run out. We are limited however on some strains so there is still a likelihood some strains may run out and we apologise in advance if this is the case, but can recommend great alternatives.

STAY UP TO DATE
Follow us on Instagram @bsb_genetics where you can directly message me (Lee) for any queries 😀

STAY SAFE
Lastly please follow the current government guidelines and remain safe through these difficult and uncertain times. I’m on lockdown myself with my 16 year old son and unable to visit my parents or friends and it’s not easy, we are all in the same boat.

Cheers, Lee, BSB Genetics.

UPDATE (where to purchase / new mag) Feb 2020

HEMP & CBD EXPO:
Firstly if you can make it please pop along and visit us at the Hemp & CBD Expo at the NEC, Birmingham on February 29th and March 1st where all of our seeds will be on offer at 25% off RRP! It would be great to meet you there 😀

CURRENT RETAIL LOCATION:
This past few months and continuing on into the near future all of our seeds (BSB Genetics, The Cali Collection and Eazy Seeds) have been on sale at:

S&J Jewellery
896 Bristol Road South
Northfield, Birmingham
B31 2NS
Tel: 0121 604 0040
Open 9am till 5pm Monday to Saturday.

NEW STORE COMING SOON:
There are now plans in place to re-establish a new retail premises for the business but it’s still maybe 3+ months away from happening.
The reasoning for the delay over the last few months is a personal battle I am going through within the family courts for my 3 children, for them to be allowed back into mine and their entire families lives again, they currently remain in hiding outside of the city with their mother.
I refuse to keep quiet about this because this past few months it’s had such a massive impact on the business, financially it’s been a huge drain and mentally being an alienated parent is incredibly difficult to cope with.

But the good news is plans are now in place to start moving forwards again, however there’s still other processes that need to fall into place first before this can happen.

NEW MAGAZINE LAUNCH:
On February 29th at the Hemp & CBD Expo we’ll be launching the 2nd edition of our BSB Genetics catalogue featuring 2 new CBD strains and fully updated bringing 2019 to a close and looking forwards to a huge 2020.

NEW STRAINS 2020:
No name releases just yet but you will see new strains being added to our collection in the coming months. More expansion into the Californian market is behind this and a new CBG Cookies strain could be on the menu.

Please follow us on Instagram, just search BSB Genetics, there you will see a continuous flow of imagery from our customers and test growers 😀

Cheers, Lee

New Staff – Cup win – Shop Relocation – Online Purchases :D

Hi all, just a quick update on all the goings on behind the scenes at BSB Genetics.

Firstly I would like to introduce Jon to the scene. Jon has a vast wealth of experience in growing and consuming and has previously worked in the hydroponic industry. A customer of 12 years Jon is incredibly familiar with BSB Genetics. All this is fantastic but what really stands out is Jon’s passion for this trade and his enthusiasm. For these reasons there could be nobody more suited to work alongside me and help keep the daily running of BSB Genetics on track. Once a new retail premises is up and running Jon will be there to help and advise in all the legal ways he can 😀

Secondly, but not least, last week we won 2nd place ‘Best Seeds Bank’ at the Hemp & CBD Expo being pipped to the post this time by none other than Attitude Seeds Bank, and finishing ahead of 3rd placed Dinafem Seeds, 2 giants I am happy to be sandwiched in the middle of 😀
The Expo has again been a fantastic success for us with multiple new business opportunities to be snapped up and an ever growing online presence for BSB Genetics through the largest online seed providers.

Here are some online places you can purchase BSB Genetics seeds:

www.seed-city.com/bsb-genetics
www.chosenseeds.com/seed-bank/bsb-genetics/
www.weedworld.co.uk/buy-cannabis-seeds/b-s-b-genetics.html
www.justfeminized.com/b-s-b-genetics-seeds-693-c.asp
www.sensibleseeds.com/bsb-genetics-seeds/
www.stealthyseeds.com/bsb-genetics
(Please e-mail me to leemallett45@sky.com to have your website added to this list)

Shop Relocation:
The business has over recent years been totally consumed by my in-house brand BSB Genetics meaning it’s been almost 2 years since I last ordered seeds for sale from any other breeder. And with the business now heading in a different direction with wholesale distribution it means I no longer require a large high street premises to operate from.
So I am in search of a far smaller premises which can provide a small showroom where purchases can be made over the counter and an office where I can work from, that’s the goal.
I am still looking to remain local to the Northfield area where the business has always been established but there is currently no urgency to jump into the first available premises.

Sales – where to purchase direct from us now over the counter:
The full collection of BSB Genetics, The Cali Collection and Easy Seeds still remains on sale in my parents jewellery shop located exactly opposite my previous shop:

S&J Jewellery
896 Bristol Road South
Northfield
Birmingham
B31 2NS
0121 604 0040
9:00 TILL 5:00 Monday to Saturday

For wholesale enquiries please e-mail me to leemallett45@sky.com.
Our official wholesale distribution partner is www.basilbush.co.uk 😀

Relocation Update

A meeting with the landlord of a new property I am hopeful of securing now looks imminent and could happen today (fingers crossed).
What could be the new premises is only half a mile away and still on the Bristol Road South.
It’s an ideal sized property and pretty much ready to move straight into.
There are other options but this property is most suited due to it’s location and it has rear parking.
There are plenty of vacant properties if this one doesn’t materialise so I’m not panicking and with the nature of the business also being manufacturing and wholesale with retail clients travelling from across Britain being on a busy high street is no longer necessary and preferably avoidable. This means many locations with lower rental values away from busy shopping area’s are well suited for my trade.

BSB Genetics stocks are currently on sale at S&J Jewellery right opposite the old shop.

I’ll update again once things are set in stone.

Cheers, Lee.
