BREXIT & BANKING DIFFICULTIES
2021 has been challenging to say the least, the introduction of the Brexit bill has been nothing short of a nightmare scenario for seeds distributors based within Britain, our orders of seeds are being confiscated by customs despite them being completely compliant and legal…this is no less than an attack on our trade. To add to the nightmare scenario I also lost my most recent banking partner of over 4 years at the start of July, again no word given for why they decided to kick me out. Only recently I have established a new UK bank account but no trading of seeds can be done through that account, only smoking accessories which leaves me still in a difficult situation with no UK based bank able to offer their services. However there are options which for now can be used and I am about to test the waters and place a new order for seeds, the first since June, and priority strains on that list are Banana Kush, Blackberry Rocks, Chunky Pineapple, Wedding Cake and new to ‘The Cali Collection’….Glookies.
BSB RE-LAUNCHES IN EUROPE
BSB Genetics however is continuing to go from strength to strength despite these unprecedented times and we are proud to announce that we are now once again being distributed across Europe from our wholesale distribution partner ‘Basil Bush Spain’. There have been around 5 months of background work to make this happen and it is a truly unique opportunity which see’s BSB Genetics as the only UK seed bank who’s entire collection of genetics is available outside of the UK….it’s a true honour to have been offered this opportunity and I grabbed it quickly with both hands and have put in the time and effort to see it come to reality. Brexit cannot hold us back!
STONEY MILL LTD – TRADE PRICES TO THE PUBLIC
Due to the re-modelling of the business to suit the UK banking scene I have launched a brand new business specialising in smoking products which are available to the public from wholesale cost. The shop will soon carry the new name ‘Stoney Mill LTD’, and our seeds will continue to be available as always from in store. But do check out our accessories collection as you will not find these prices matched in the UK, certainly not beaten, and we are carrying a large selection and stock holding of glass bongs, acrylic bongs, smoking pipes, digital scales, smoking trays & boxes, grinders, blunts, RAW papers etc etc, all from trade cost to you 😀
NEW WEBSITE PLANS
Once solutions are in place to ensure the smooth banking and running of the business I plan to have a brand new website professionally built from the ground up to represent the entire BSB Genetics, The Cali Collection and Eazy Seeds collections. I cannot promise an online payment option just yet but that hopefully will be incorporated if I can first establish with a new banking partner accepting of my trade.
NEW STRAINS
As mentioned above ‘Glookies’ (GG#4 x GSC) will soon be entering ‘The Cali Collection’ range (£38.99 for 5 or £64.99 for 10 fem seeds) and we have some other exciting new releases to announce once we have the seeds in stock including a fast finishing version of a legendary strain which took the world by storm 10 years ago!
THE CALI COLLECTION UPDATE
The following name changes are being applied to these ‘The Cali Collection’ strains: Cali Dream is now Blueberry Dream / Cali Wreck is now Train Wreck / Cali Cherry Pie is now Cherry Pie / Cali OG Kush is now OG Kush / Cali Cookies is now Girl Scout Cookies / Cali Crack is now Green Crack / Cali Sherbet is now Sunset Sherbet. These name changes are immediately in effect for European distribution and will be following on in the UK shortly as older packets sell out and newer seeds on the new packaging replace them.
DISCOUNTINUED STRAINS
I’ll be adding the details of these to the ‘Bulk Offers’ menu here and the price drops will also be advertised in store, but not available for European distribution, only directly from our Birmingham based store. Letting go of our slower selling varieties allows for us to bring on board new and exciting strains and will also allow our customers the opportunity to get these strains for rock bottom prices while remaining stocks last. The current strains I’ve definitely decided are getting the axe are BSB Cheddar #1, Blue Cheddar #1, Cali SFV OG, and Lemon Garlic OG. But keep your eyes peeled on the ‘Bulk Offers’ page above as more will be added.
Onwards and upwards and a big thank you to everyone who has supported BSB throughout the years, we owe it to you 😀
