Happy New Year! As we kick off 2026, many of you are planning your upcoming grow cycles. To help you start the year right, we've updated our documentation and wanted to highlight some powerful features for planning and budgeting.

New Guide: Cost Optimization

We've added a comprehensive guide on Cost Optimization. While we released the "Lowest Cost Solver" a few months ago, this new guide walks you through the entire workflow:

1. Inputting Inventory Costs: How to correctly set up your shelf.
2. Running the Solver: Strategies for using error tolerance to find cheaper recipes.
3. Projecting Feed Schedule Costs: How to see the price tag for your entire 12-week cycle before you mix a single batch.

Plan Your Year with Feed Schedules

If you haven't used Feed Schedules yet, now is the perfect time.

• Map it out: Create a schedule that covers your vegetative and flowering phases.
• Budget Check: Use the built-in cost projection to ensure your plan fits your budget.
• Share: Found a schedule that yields amazing results? Share it with the community using our privacy-focused sharing links.

Documentation Updates

We've also polished our Shelf and Feed Logs guides to better explain data privacy when sharing. Rest assured, while you can share your nutrient science with the world, your financial data remains private to you.

Here's to a productive and precise 2026! Happy Growing!
