Seeds And Covid-19 lockdown

Is it just me or have a lot of seedbanks had an increase in people buying more seeds than they normally do due to lockdown in countries.
I only ask out of curiosity as I bought a few backup seeds last night on Attitude-seedbank and noticed a lot of stock has been bought from single seeds to packs that are normally in.Ok could be just one sight lol but I then looked at a few more and same from strains that well normally constantly in stock on some sights to now nothing and yes I am aware this no stocks is also due to not being able to get delivery on a majority but my point is this over all I think personally that more people have started to grow their own while in lockdown and more so for people still in prohibition land like me if you don,t grow you can pay stupid prices for blackmarket stuff that as we know aint all that great.
Ok rant over in way lol just want to hear peoples thoughts and also not all people will spend out right on a pack of seeds just in case the strain aint what they expected so they like me may buy single seeds just as gamble if pops and harvests great if not move on until happy to buy packs of strain.
Excuse my grammar I bit baked as writing this might got lost a bit.

Haha I understand where you are coming from but I usually see a bit of a seed shortage in seed banks round this time of year as it’s spring and everyone wants seeds for their grows. I’m not sure to what extent they are sold out so I can’t tell for sure. It could even be resupply of seeds of you could be right but it’s probably a combination of all now that I think :upside_down_face:

That’s another one I checked as my brother uses them :smiley:

I think Bob is right. It’s just the time of year where people get their outdoor grows going. A lot of people only grow outdoors, and this is the time they are buying seeds.

All seed banks are out of seeds. Go look at non cannabis seed websites. Johnny’s Select Seeds and Territorial Seeds are not shipping anything but commercial grower orders until May. Luckily I’m a commercial grower!

Still plenty of seeds out there, the banks I use are fine and getting new drops daily/ weekly…major sales happening as well…

yeah the lockdown + 420 really cleaned out a bunch of stock. I still found plenty around though and more on the way.

Yeah was gonna say the same thing. Plus, banks who sell many different breeders’ stock may not be getting the re-ups on stock theyd normally get from the breeders bc of COVID.

They all just had their 420 sales. Probably the biggest sale day of the year. Makes sense that most would be pretty wiped clean at this point
