I Spent Years (and Six Figures) Learning What Works in Cannabis. You Don't Have To.
I'm Randy Wintle. Engineer turned cannabis operator. I've built hash labs, scaled edibles operations, and turned struggling grows into premium producers. But here's the thing — I got there through expensive failures, bloody hands, and fights with my team about doing things differently.
That hard-won knowledge? It's what I'm selling. So you can skip the part where you lose money figuring it out.
Packages Starting at $5,000
Hash Lab Setup
Everything to get a solventless lab running — because I've built these from scratch and know where people waste money and where they cheap out in the wrong places.
Cultivation for Hash
How to grow specifically for rosin production. Not just "good weed" — the kind that actually performs in extraction and justifies premium pricing.
Edibles That Actually Sell
Kitchen design, SOPs, and recipes based on what actually moves off shelves. Not what sounds cool, but what your retailers will reorder.
Who the Hell is Bigman?
The Short Version: Engineer Who Got His Hands Dirty
Randy Wintle
Cannabis Consultant (Who Actually Did The Thing)
The Real Story:
I came into cannabis through engineering with a clear vision: build a hash rosin company. That was the goal from day one. Premium, solventless, craft concentrates.
Then Reality Hit
The market wasn't ready. Retailers wanted flower. Customers didn't understand hash pricing. Banks looked at our projections and laughed. So we adapted — added flower cultivation to stay alive.
Suddenly we're running a facility designed for hash production that now has to excel at flower. Genetics that need to perform in BOTH markets. Environmental controls that have to serve two different masters. Teams with different skill sets that need to work together.
The Hardest Part? Staying Profitable During the Transition
This wasn't a clean pivot. This was running two businesses simultaneously while the cannabis market lost its mind. Prices dropping. Regulations changing. Retailers demanding more for less. Having to be profitable in flower while building toward hash while managing cash flow while dealing with equipment that wasn't optimized for either.
The Market Forced Our Hand (Back to Where We Started)
Eventually, the flower market commoditized. Race to the bottom. Margins disappeared. Meanwhile, hash rosin was finally gaining traction. Customers were ready. Retailers understood it. The premium market existed.
So we came full circle — back to hash. But this time with five years of battle scars, operational experience, and the hard-won knowledge of how to run a profitable cannabis operation even when everything's working against you.
That's the Experience I'm Selling
Not "here's how to build the perfect hash lab from scratch." That's the easy version.
I'm selling "here's how to navigate the messy reality of cannabis operations where nothing goes as planned, the market changes constantly, and you have to stay profitable through all of it."
Because that's what actually happens.
Why Work With Me?
I've Navigated the Messy Reality
Not theory. Not a perfect scenario. The actual chaos of running cannabis operations where you're juggling multiple product lines, adapting to market changes, and somehow staying profitable through it all.
I've Maintained Profitability Through Transitions
The hardest thing in cannabis isn't building a facility. It's staying profitable while the market shifts, while you're pivoting, while you're running operations that weren't designed for what you're actually doing. I've done that.
I Know How to "Work With What You've Got"
Most consulting is "build it perfect from scratch." Real operations don't work that way. You have existing facilities, existing teams, existing constraints. I've optimized operations within reality, not fantasy.
I Understand Multi-Product Operations
Running both flower and hash profitably is brutally hard. Different margins, different processes, genetics that have to perform in both markets. I've managed that complexity and can help you do the same.
Why Hash Rosin? (Real Talk Version)
While everyone else is racing to the bottom on flower prices, hash rosin still commands 2-5x pricing. Customers WANT to pay more for it. Retailers WANT to stock it.
Once someone finds hash rosin they love, they become repeat buyers. They ask for it by name. They follow it to new stores. It's not commodity cannabis — it's connoisseur product.
Not everyone is doing it well yet. The barrier to entry is real (knowledge, equipment, skill). That means less competition and higher margins for people who know what they're doing.
What I'm Actually Good At
Engineering Mindset Applied to Messy Reality
I break down complex processes into systems. But more importantly, I optimize facilities and workflows that weren't designed for what they're currently doing.
Genetics That Perform Across Markets
I don't grow 'good weed.' I select genetics that have to excel in multiple contexts — flower that sells well AND washes into premium hash.
Hash Production That's Actually Repeatable
Anyone can make good hash once. Making good hash every time, in a facility that's also running flower, with teams managing multiple product lines? That's where systems matter.
Multi-Product Profitability Management
The hardest part isn't making good products. It's staying profitable when you're running multiple product lines with different margin structures and a market that's constantly changing.
Facility Adaptation & Optimization
Purpose-built is easy. Adapting existing infrastructure to serve new purposes while maintaining profitability? That's the hard skill most operators actually need.
Market Navigation & Timing
Understanding when to pivot, how fast to transition, and how to maintain revenue through major operational changes. This determines whether pivots succeed or destroy the company.
What I'll Actually Do For You
No fluff. No theory. Just proven systems and honest advice from someone who's been there.
Hash Lab Setup
Everything you need to get a solventless extraction lab running without wasting money on wrong equipment, bad layouts, or processes that don't scale. I'll tell you what equipment is worth spending on and what's overpriced hype.
Cultivation for Hash
How to grow specifically for hash production — not just 'fire flower,' but cultivars and techniques that maximize your extraction results and justify premium pricing.
Genetics Access
Access to proven genetics that excel at hash production — cultivars we tested, refined, and actually use in commercial production. These aren't hype strains from Instagram. These are proven performers.
Edibles Development
Turn your kitchen into a profit center with products that actually sell and margins that actually work. I'll push you toward products that are profitable over products that are interesting.
Business Strategy & Reality Check
Financial modeling, operational audits, and honest feedback about what's working and what's wishful thinking. This is where I might tell you things you don't want to hear.
Let's Talk About Your Operation
Free 30-minute call. No sales pitch. Just real conversation about whether I can help.
You tell me what's going on
What you're building, what's broken, what you're trying to figure out
I'll ask questions
To understand your situation, constraints, and goals
I'll be honest
If I can help, I'll tell you how. If I can't, I'll tell you that too
We'll figure out next steps
Whether that's a project, an ongoing relationship, or just some free advice
I'm not trying to sell you consulting you don't need. I'm trying to figure out if we're a good fit.
If we're not, I'll tell you. Maybe I'll refer you to someone better suited. Maybe I'll give you some free guidance and send you on your way. If we are a good fit, we'll talk about what makes sense.
