Important Factors for Plant Growth

Gardening is a hobby that brings joy to many people whether what age group they belong. Maybe the reason why we are enjoying it so much is because it can be our sweet escape from the busy life of this modern age. But before we can harvest the fruit of our labor we need to exert a lot of effort and skill first.

That is where we can help you, guide you on what are the requirements for you to grow a healthy plant. Plants are like humans too, that needs to be nurtured with the right environment, the right climate and a lot more to be healthy. So let's start to enumerate the factors that you need to consider to grow your plants healthy.

1. Soil Moisture
Water plays a significant role in the life of plants. Water is for plant's nutrient absorption and transportation, it also important in the process of plant's food making process or photosynthesis. Don't think that watering plants is enough, we should be fully aware of the correct amount of water to put into the plants too. Both under watering and over watering the plants is not good for different type of plants have different preferences when it comes to the amount of moisture they intake. Therefore you need to monitor the plant's moisture. If you already know the current situation of the plant you'll know when it's time to water the plant or when to stop.

2. Soil pH
Soil pH needs to be measured too for us to know how acid or alkaline the soil is. A pH of 7.0 is considered neutral. When the value is below 7.0 it is acid and when the reading is above 7.0 the soil is alkaline. Soil pH has a profound effect on how plants can easily take up nutrients from the soil. The “ideal” soil pH is almost neutral, and neutral soils are considered to fall within a range of 6.5 to slightly alkaline pH of 7.5. It has been confirmed that most plant nutrients are optimally available to plants within this 6.5 to 7.5 pH range, plus this range of pH is generally very compatible to plant root growth.


There are a lot of available methods you can use to determine your soil pH; there are garden centers that would likely to test the soil for you or you can buy an inexpensive pH test kit/meters at most hardware stores or online store. You may just check what works for you.

3.Soil Temperature
Soil Temperature is the measurement of the warmth of the soil. Determining the soil temperature is beneficial in order for you to know the right timing of sowing seeds, transplanting and composting. Every type of crops has a preferred soil temperature, planting early without waiting for the soil to get warm might lead to seed rot or plants will grow poorly. If you are planning to grow a certain type of plant, research thoroughly on what range of temperature would they likely to thrive. And more importantly measure the temperature of the soil with the available methods at your disposal.

4. Light Intensity
Need I say more? Light is equally important as the other factors above. Just like water, light plays an important role on photosynthesis. In the process of photosynthesis light energy is being combined with CO2 and water to make sugar and O2.

In order to maximize the benefit of light to your plant, consider the quantity and consistency of light. Are you giving the plant the right exposure to the light?  Too much light can cause the leaves to dry but lack of light can cause the plant not to grow to their full potential. For that reason it is a must to managed light properly and you can only do that by measuring the light intensity precisely.


For accurate measurement of moisture, soil pH, temperature and light intensity you need to have a reliable instrument. Check this incredible device for accurate results!

Having those 4 factors in mind I think your garden can blossom into a beautiful one. Can you think about other factors that need to be considered when growing a plant? We would like to hear it from you.

Wonders of Ozone

What is Ozone?

Ozone (O3) is a highly reactive odorless gas made of oxygen. I think a lot of people will be interested to know that ozone occurs quite readily in nature, a result of lightning that occurs during thunderstorms.

How does ozone do wonders on the environment?

Ozone is biocidal, meaning it can disinfect harmful contaminants present in the environment and rendering them harmless while also removing odor. Let me explain further. Remember Ozone is composed of 3 atoms, when one of those atoms spots a contaminant such as odor, viruses and bacteria, the said atom breaks away from the other 2 atoms and attaches itself to the contaminant.  The explosion between the two changes the contaminant into carbon dioxide and hydrogen, which we can breathe. The other two atoms left behind became a pure oxygen (O2) without the presence of the contaminant. This process is called oxidation, you may check the image below to get the picture of it.

How is ozone made? 

There are 2 ways to produce ozone: ultraviolet rays (UV) and corona discharge (CD). With UV ozone generation, the light that passed over a UV lamp splits oxygen molecules making it reattach into ozone (O3).

While Corona Discharge ozone generation is accomplished by passing air through an electrical field. Ozone is produced by the used of electric current that splits oxygen molecules then creates ozone.

What sets the two method apart? UV generators cannot produce high concentration of ozone so air needs to be exposed on UV lamps for a longer period of time making it more time consuming. And here's corona discharge generator  that  can produce 90% higher concentrations of ozone. With that you don't need much time and energy in order to produce a high ozone level making it more cost effective.

Where can we use ozone?
Ozone can be used for tons of application. I will enumerate some of the application wherein ozone can be beneficial for you.

Water purification
>Ozone is known for its excellent disinfection capability that is why it is widely used for water purification. Ozone can oxidize metal in water such as iron and manganese and turn it into a soluble particles. And the best thing about using ozone is that there is no chemical added to the water; ozone reverts back to oxygen after it is used.

Odor elimination in indoor environment
>Have you noticed the fresh air after a thunderstorm? Fresh air is a result of nature's creation of ozone every time there is thunderstorm . Ozone breaks down odor-causing molecules spotted in an indoor environment may it be a smell of tobacco, pets odor and garbage.

Food Sterilization
> There are a lot of people that is surprised to know that they can actually use ozone for food sterilization. Using a tube, ozone is infused on the water where the fruits and vegetables are placed for cleaning and ozone destroys the bacteria and pesticides on the surface of any vegetable and fruits. Not only that ozone also helps extend the shelf-life and maintain the quality of freshness of seafoods, meats and vegetable.

Fish pond
>For the fish hobbyist out there, ozone can be a big help on your aquarium or Fish Pond! Ozone is proven to help oxidize dissolve organics that can discolor the water making the water in the fish pond and aquarium crystal clear. Addition to that ozone can be used to control algae growth in your pond.

The above mention applications requires something called an ozone generator, you may check the available Ozone Generators on GXPRODUCTS at your disposal.

NOTE: We would also like to remind everyone that we must be careful when using ozone in an occupied environment, more ozone doesn't mean it will be more effective. Ozone can work even when humans are not able to smell it. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), have stipulated that the safe allowable level of residual is 0.1 ppm (parts per million) throughout an entire 8 hour day.

So there all the information that you need to know about ozone! You may also share via comments below what you think about ozone and what are the benefits ozone has brought to you.

Do fishing with no worries using a Waterproof bag

How expensive is your Fish Finder? US$50.00? US$100? or maybe US$1000? Fish Finder nowadays really cost an arm and a leg, therefore you cannot afford to have it got damage especially by water. We cannot avoid our Fish Finder from getting wet every once in a while when we are out Fishing it's just that we cannot control how our Fish Finder will react to the splash of water. Perhaps it can cause your Fish Finder to get unstable readings or worse case scenario: unable to switch it on at all. Consider yourself lucky if you have a Fully Waterproof Fish Finder, you will never have to worry even if you have dropped your sounder in the water but if your Sounder let say is Water Resistant only then you are in BIG trouble.

How can you go Fishing with ease when you are thinking of the safety of your Fish Finder? I recommend that you get a Waterproof Bag just like what you are seeing on the image below. This waterproof bag allows your Fish Finder to be 100% submerge in the water without getting wet and damage.

If you have a Portable Fish Finder I think it will totally fit in this Waterproof Bag for it has a size of 10 inches x 6 inches, pretty huge right? And if I may add this waterproof bag is made from PVC, which is usually used to make floor sheets, water pipes, waterproof cartons, rain coats and a lot of items that is in regular contact with water. Because this waterproof bag is made of PVC it is treated to resist the penetration of water, making your Fish Finder safe. With all those information given you can be rest assured that you can keep your Fish Finder Protected and Watertight!

Quick Fix for your Heart Rate Monitor Problem

A heart rate monitor is very helpful in achieving an effective work out. Knowing your Heart Rate is pivotal to know if you need to level up your exercise or to slow down a little bit. But how can that be possible when you are having a problem on your heart rate monitor. Problems that can arise are: No Heart Rate display, Inconsistent Heart Rate, Frozen Display and a lot more. Ease your mind, we can help you to fix the problem so let's start!

We have listed the root cause why you are having a problem in making your Heart Rate Monitor to work and what are the troubleshooting you can do solve the problem.

Cause of Problem on the Heart Rate readings

1. Electrical interference 
-There are a lot of external sources that can cause interference: electrical appliances such as TV, Computer that uses electricity and even power lines near our device can cause an interruption when the chest belt is transmitting data to the watch causing erratic readings.

2. Not enough voltage of battery
-Do I need to mention this one? Battery is the life force of our Heart Rate Monitor and Chest Strap, you need to make sure that the batteries has enough voltage for the unit to work.

3. Not enough moisture on the chest belt
-Did you know that moist can help the chest strap make good contact with the skin? Wetting the grooved sensors of your chest belt using water, sweat and even saliva can be beneficial to register good connection between the chest belt and your skin.

4. Improper position of the chest strap
-This is the most important thing we should need to be aware of; the proper position of the grooved sensor. We should not position the chest belt on just any part of the body, it must be position where it can directly pick up data to be transmitted to the watch.

We have tackled the reasons why we are experiencing problem in our Heart Rate Monitor now we should discuss what are the steps we can do to fix the problem.

1. Move away from the source of interference.
-As much as possible perform your exercise or fitness regime on a place with no interference. Take the living room for example there is a bunch of appliances can be found that can cause interference so better do your exercise outside.

2. Replace the battery for both the chest belt and watch
-When the readings are getting erratic or you are noticing that the connection between the watch and chest strap is ceasing for a couple of times then it's time to replace the battery either of the watch or chest strap.

 3. Wet the grooved sensors of the chest belt 
-On your first use you may use water to wet the conductive pad of the chest belt, eventually when you are doing your exercise and you are already sweating a lot, sweat can used to moisten the belt. One thing to bear in mind you should wet the conductive pad of the chest belt or the grooved sensor. You may take a look on the image below for you to have an idea which is the conductive part.

4. Wear the chest strap correctly
- Where should you position the chest belt? Chest belt should sit snugly below the pectoral muscles and in direct contact with your skin. Avoid wearing the chest belt on the part with dense hair to avoid interruption on the transmission of data.

5. Clean the transmitter 
-Sweat can build up on the chest strap thus preventing the chest strap to report the correct data to the watch. We strongly recommend cleaning the chest strap by rinsing it with fresh water to avoid sweat build up.  Do not use abrasive or corrosive materials to clean the chest strap; abrasive cleaning agent may scratch the plastic parts and corrode the electronic circuit.

6. Using a Heart Rate Gel
-There are so called Heart Rate Gel that can be used to get better conductivity. It is designed to improve the connection between your heart rate monitor's chest strap and your skin. This is a very good option especially if you find sweat and saliva gross to put on the groove sensor of the chest strap.

Tips to Improve the Quality of Your Soil

  One of the essential resources on Earth is Soil; it has many important functions to humans, plants and animals. Of course the food we consume wouldn't be available without the soil that  provides the nourishment that plants need to grow. Serves as a habitat for a lot of creatures present on the ecosystem including us humans. Soil is truly a marvellous product of nature and without which there would be no life. I will make you appreciate soil much more by sharing some important information about it and how you can maintain a healthy soil.


What is Soil?
By googling this topic I stumble on different definitions of soil but I think this is a good one. Soil is "a dynamic natural body on the surface of the earth in which plants grow, composed of mineral and organic materials and living forms"

Now we should enumerate the different types of soil.  Knowing this is crucial for gardeners so they can determine what kind of plant species they can grow on a specific type of soil. There are three main types of soil—clay, sandy, and loamy. Loams are a mixture of clay, sand, and silt, and are more fertile than other soils.

I have learned a quick test to determine the type of soil that you have: What you have to do is rub some soil in your hands, if it's sandy, you'll feel the sand particles. If it's heavy clay, it will feel very slippery when wet. Heavy clay soil is slower to drain and takes longer to warm up and dry off in the spring. Loamy soils will feel smooth textured and hold their shape for a short period of time.

We are now going to the important part of this discussion, the tips to improve the quality of your soil. You may take a look at the infographics above to learn more on maintaining a healthy soil.

1. Add compost to your soil
Beside from being eco-friendly composting is often considered as a soil conditioner; it improves the structure of the soil enabling it to retain more nutrients, moisture and air that can be useful for plants. Composting is turning waste materials into a beneficial matter. A blend of waste material such as vegetable matter, fruit waste, hay, straw, paper and manure are the components of a good compost. If you are asking how much compost you need to put on the soil, it depends on the type of soil you have. The best time of the year to use compost is during spring and fall.


2. Have your soil tested
This is a non-negotiable for gardeners, you should always have your soil checked. In soil testing we are doing an analysis of the soil to determine the nutrients (nitrogen, potassium and phosphorous levels are the 3 main nutrients needed), contamination content and other characteristic like pH  level. There are extension offices in your local area that offers free or low-cost soil testing and there are a variety of commercial testing services as well. For ideal plant growth, soil needs the proper pH level. pH is measured on a scale of 1 to 14;  with a pH less than 7 are said to be acidic and soil with a pH greater than 7 are basic or alkaline. If you'd like to measure the soil pH you can find inexpensive yet accurate pH meter at GXPRODUCTS.

3.Be careful with fertilizer
Why should we be careful about fertilizers? Don't get me wrong with this one, plants needs fertilizer for additional nutrients and to thrive but not all fertilizers are good for the plants. Too much of fertilizer can be bad for plants, also if it's not the right kind. If you are not sure what kind of fertilizer to put for a certain breed of plant you may contact the Local County Office for further assistance.

4. Don’t tread on soil
It is a no-no to step in to the soil where you are planning to place the plant or where the plants are currently placed. When you step in to the soil it can make it compact, a well-compacted soil can prevent moisture from getting in and out.What you must do is to create a pathway where you can walk in to avoid pressing the soil.

5.Cultivation and weed control
There are times that soil can get compacted and these scenario is no good  for the plants because it will be harder for them to grow and access nutrients. That being said cultivation  could help to improve the condition of the soil. Aside from cultivation you also need to control weeds that compete with productive crops for space, nutrients, water and light. Some do weed control with the use of chemicals but I don't suggest this method for it can be harmful not only for plants but also to animals and humans around. It will be a good idea to do the manual removal of weeds, it maybe tiring but you can be sure that you will remove the unnecessary plants only.

So there, those are the things you need to know to ensure that you can get the most out of your soil. I hope you will learn something from this post about soil and how to improve the quality of your soil.

 I have seen a favorable response from my previous post for model VID-71 having said that, I will continue to introduce you the next model VID-71R. Like what I have mentioned last time there are two types for this Endoscope namely VID-71 and VID-71R. VID-71 only allows you to view and inspect hard to reach area; while VID-71R allows you to view, record and inspect hard-to-reach, small opening and tight area. If you just want to simply view the problem then VID-71 is the right Endoscope for you. But if you want to document what you are seeing when you are doing the inspection then i recommend you to use VID-71R. Plus VID-71R menu is available in 10 Languages: English, French, German, Italian, Spanish,Russian  Portuguese,Simplified Chinese,Japanese and Korean.

VID-71R has 2 types of camera diameter as well: 5.5mm and 9mm. To easily determine which is which when checking in our store, the model  VID-71R-9 is the Endoscope with 9mm camera diameter and VID-71R-5.5 is the Endoscope with 5.5mm camera diameter. The Endoscope with 9mm camera diameter comes with 1M and 3M cable while 5.5mm is available in 1M and 2M only. In addition to that if you will buy 9.9mm, there will be hook tip / magnet tip / mirror tip and included on the set while if you will buy 5.5mm only mirror tip is included. To fully evaluate the difference between the two you may check the complete features listed below.
