04 — Questions about this product
Product questions
Your questions about this product
- Is the VF Vertical Farming 120W enough to grow vegetables or is it just for clones and seeds?The Lumatek VF Vertical Farming 120W is indeed a product specifically designed for tasks requiring a low PPFD, such as seed germination or creating clones and the early stages of plant development. The lamp can be used for the cultivation of certain types of vegetables that require moderate light needs in vegetative phase, such as lettuce, herbs or spinach. However, for the fruiting phase or cultivation of more light-demanding vegetables like tomatoes or peppers, this lamp may be insufficient. For these cases, a more robust horticultural lighting might be required to ensure optimal growth. In summary, although the Lumatek VF Vertical Farming 120W is an excellent choice for clones, seedlings, micro-greens and some young vegetable plants, it is not optimal for growing vegetables outside of these early stages or for plants that need powerful lighting for their flowering or fruiting stages.
- Can you specify whether the light spectrum is adjustable to optimize plant growth during different phases, or is it fixed on this VF Vertical Farming 120W model?
The light spectrum of the VF Vertical Farming 120W by Lumatek is fixed, made up of a balanced mix of 4000K and 3000K white diodes, perfectly suited for cloning, seedling, and young plant phases.
However, this model offers a dimming function via a separately sold compatible driver, allowing you to adjust the light intensity between 25% and 100%. This provides some margin to optimize the power according to needs, but the spectrum itself cannot be modified.
In summary, the spectrum cannot be adjusted for different growth phases, but the intensity is adjustable to suit the plant's stage of development.
