BREXIT PROBLEMS
So as many of you will know by now Brexit has brought with it nothing but problems for the seeds trade, essentially ending the supply of seeds into Britain. This is having devastating effects no doubt for everyone involved in the seeds trade as well as for end consumers who can no longer simply pop in to their local seeds supplier and pick up their favourite strains due to stocks drying up.
Nobody can give us any advice on what will happen next or if it will, but we cannot simply give up on our chosen trade and call it a day, we will find a way, and I personally don’t know how to quit, so regardless of this mess BSB Genetics will continue to grow and prosper, that is my promise.
PSYTOSANITARY CERTIFICATION PROCESS
This is simply a process put in place under Brexit laws which means all plant products coming into Britain must first be inspected by an official authorised body for pests and diseases. Once cleared the consignments carry with them the required certification paperwork so that they are allowed to cross over our border.
All well and good, if your importing tomato seeds! Part of this process requires that all plant products within the consignments being imported must be clearly labelled on the outside of the parcel. What this allows is for customs to easily sniff out and identify all hemp / cannabis related goods so they can ensure we don’t receive them.
Is this legal? Well who can we complain to?
Our breeder has over the last 6 weeks attempted 3 times to get another parcel of seeds over to us (9000 seeds we have already paid for) using FedEx. First they sent a batch of 1000 free hemp seeds complete with the certification paperwork and they arrived the very next day. Excellent, so I gave to go ahead to release the main order. But 3 times FedEx have returned the parcel to our breeder. The first attempt made it into Britain before being returned. The 2nd attempt never made it past Charles De Gaule (France) and the 3rd attempt never even made it out of Barcelona.
But we won’t quit trying.
FRESH SEEDS IN STOCK
Some good news. On April 1st (I’m not fooling you) we received a batch of seeds we initially ordered from our breeder on December 16th! UPS had held onto the consignment since receiving it in January and we honestly believe someone in their warehouse slipped up as those seeds should never have arrived with us, but somehow they did. Germination tests were completed with excellent results in sub-standard conditions so the seeds are now on sale.
The strains just re-stocked are: Banana Kush, The Runtz, Mimosa, Gorilla Glue #4, Bruce Banner #3, Strawberry Banana & Stardawg, so currently we are well stocked on these strains, how long for only remains to be seen.
OUT OF STOCK / LOW ON STOCK
Unfortunately we are running low on some varieties and essentially out of stock of the following: Auto Strawberry Milkshake (70 seeds left), LSD Ultra (call us), Wedding Cake (call us) & Skywalker Cookies.
A complete stock check has been completed this week and we now know the above strains and a couple of others will not be available for wholesale distribution for the foreseeable future, so if you see them ‘in stock’ anywhere online grab them fast.
50% OFF SEEDS
If you visit our store don’t forget to check out our clearance seeds section just on the right as you walk in. We have many leading name brands on half price such as Barney’s Farm, Sweet Seeds, Greenhouse Seeds, Dutch Passion, DNA Genetics, Paradise Seeds, Nirvana, Serious Seeds and many many more.
These are older stocks to clear as we no longer stock other breeders seeds.
