About JWC’s GrowthSTORM™ Dual Droplet™ System

JWC’s GrowthSTORM™ System offers several significant advantages over other cultivation techniques, including its new advancement, the GrowthSTORM™ Dual Droplet System (“DDS”). The aeroponic GrowthSTORM™ DDS is designed to achieve a higher availability of air and water at the root zone, and a more controlled delivery of nutrients, to result in significant improvements in plant health in all measurable categories, as well as a higher volume of production by each plant. Additionally, this proprietary system is designed to eliminate all contaminants from the cultivation facility, allowing for maximum control of the growth environment to provide clean and consistent cannabis from every plant lifecycle.
