Algenis Rodriguez

Result-driven Hemp and Cannabis Cultivation Expert with extensive hands-on experience managing private commercial indoor grow operations across 3 locations in the Netherlands, with a total capacity of up to 900 plants.

Supplied licensed Dutch adult-use retail dispensaries (coffeeshops) prior to transitioning the facilities to fully legal hemp production.

Deep technical expertise in optimizing indoor environmental controls, customizing crop nutrition, and implementing strict Integrated Pest Management (IPM) to maximize yield, potency, and terpene profiles.

Head Grower / Owner - Private Commercial Cultivation Facilities – The Netherlands (3 locations) - The Netherlands

(2022-01 - 2026-01)

4 years operational management experience. Now focused exclusively on opportunities in the regulated US cannabis market.

• Designed, built, and operated 3 private high-yield indoor cultivation locations, each with up to 300 plants (total capacity 900 plants), fully optimizing advanced HVAC, high-intensity lighting grids (LED/HPS), and automated CO₂ enrichment systems to replicate ideal microclimates. Managed the 12/12 light cycle during the flowering phase to induce consistent and high-quality bud development across all locations.
• Successfully managed the wholesale supply chain, consistently delivering premium, strain-specific cannabis flower to licensed Dutch adult-use retail establishments (coffeeshops) under the local tolerance framework.
• Formulated custom hydroponic and substrate-specific nutrient recipes, fine-tuning irrigation schedules across all growth phases (cloning, vegetative, and flowering) to boost biomass yield and maximize cannabinoid production.
• Developed and enforced rigorous biosecurity and sanitation protocols, maintaining a 100% clean cultivation environment and eliminating crop loss from powdery mildew, botrytis, and common pests without hazardous chemicals.
• Oversaw high-standard drying, curing, and hand-trimming processes to preserve trichome integrity and maximize the shelf-life and bag-appeal of the final retail product.
• Conducted continuous pheno-hunting and genetic selection to build a high-demand strain portfolio tailored to shifting market and consumer preferences.
• Upon request, I am happy to provide video footage showcasing the physical construction of the cultivation facilities (from raw build-out to the complete climate system) and the successfully cultivated Amisha Haze plants.
• The Netherlands has a tolerance policy where coffeeshops can sell, but production isn't fully regulated yet. That's actually the number one reason I'm leaving – I want to do this work strictly within the law.
