Systems and methods for facilitating communication among grow pods are provided. One embodiment of a system includes a remote computing device that includes a memory component that stores logic. The logic may cause the remote computing device to receive a grow recipe that includes actions for a particular grow pod to grow a plant, implement the grow recipe on the particular grow pod; determine an output of the plant in the particular grow pod using the grow recipe, and determine a random adjustment to the grow recipe. In some embodiments, the logic may cause the computing device to determine an output of the plant in the particular grow pod using the random adjustment to the grow recipe and determine whether the random adjustment to the grow recipe resulted in an improvement in output.
