Looking for advice on my guava plants grown from seed in Canada 🇨🇦🌱

Last year my family brought back a guava from back home (St.Lucia) and I decided to plant a few of the seeds just to see if anything would happen. Surprisingly, 6 of them sprouted and now it’s turned into a full mission of mine to keep them healthy and see how far I can take them lol.

I planted them around November 2025 and I live in Ontario, Canada, so they’ve mostly been indoor plants through the winter. During colder months they got a mix of grow light/UV light and window sunlight. Now that the weather is warming up, they’ve also started getting some outdoor sunlight when possible.

They’re all in separate pots using Miracle-Gro tropical soil. I usually water every 2–3 days but I always do the 2-inch soil moisture check before watering again to avoid overwatering.

The main issues I’ve been noticing are:
- yellowing leaves on some plants
- some new leaves dry out before fully developing
- a few plants grow l don’t branch out much compared to the others

Some plants seem healthy while others are a bit inconsistent even though they’re under mostly the same conditions.

I’m a noob to growing tropical fruit plants, especially indoors in Canada and have been relying on ChatGPT but some information somewhat contradicts itself, so I’d really appreciate any advice.

I’m trying to see these babies grow 😁

Also for some of the leaves which are dead, should I cut the branch they’re on?

HELP! ... 2016 Jeep Cherokee

Need help diagnosing a strange electrical/network issue on a 2016 Jeep Cherokee KL after replacing the power liftgate.

Original issue:
The power liftgate would open a few inches, then automatically close. I disconnected the battery for ~10 minutes to reset the system but it didn’t help. I inspected the wires going to the liftgate and all looked good. I then replaced the motorized liftgate strut which had a module inside it with a used OEM unit from another 2016 Cherokee. After replacement, the liftgate started working perfectly again.

Immediately after driving the vehicle:

  • Odometer started blinking continuously
  • Driver-side master window switch stopped controlling:
    • Driver window
    • Front passenger window
  • Passenger window still works from passenger switch
  • Rear windows still work from driver window switch
  • Everything worked perfectly before the liftgate replacement andbattery disconnect

Diagnostics/troubleshooting so far:

  • Ran multiple PROXI alignments using AlfaOBD + VLink
  • PROXI completed successfully every time but it did not fix the blinking odometer.
  • I then went over the fuse's in the engine bay and pushed down on all the fuses (not sure what possessed me to do this but the next PROXI alignment worked.
  • Blinking odometer is now gone after PROXI
  • BCM communicates normally
  • Liftgate module communicates normally
  • Passenger Door Module communicates normally
  • Passenger Door Module has U0199 (“Lost Communication With Door Module”)
  • AlfaOBD CANNOT communicate with the Driver Door Module (DDM)

Things I’ve checked/tested:

  • Visually checked fuse F38 (good)
  • Visually inspected driver door harness in rubber boot between door/body
  • No visible broken wires
  • Performed wiggle test on harness with ignition ON → no change
  • Removed door panel and replaced DDM with another used OEM DDM from junkyard
  • Same exact symptoms with replacement DDM
  • Still cannot communicate with DDM after replacement

Additional notes:

  • Issue started BEFORE touching the driver door panel or DDM connectors, so I don’t think I caused a pin/connector issue during diagnosis
  • Since TWO different DDMs behave the exact same way, I’m starting to suspect either:
    • DDM power/ground issue
    • CAN communication issue between BCM/body harness and DDM
    • BCM not waking/addressing DDM properly after battery disconnect/PROXI event

At this point I’m planning to:

  • Verify power and ground directly at DDM connector
  • Check CAN voltages/continuity on DDM CAN pair
  • Inspect body-to-door harness connector more closely

Only problem is im not sure how to do these things but i guess ill learn. Would appreciate any advice from anyone familiar with KL Cherokees, Chrysler CAN networks, or weird post-PROXI/battery disconnect issues.

Hey guys, looking for some advice from anyone who’s dealt with something similar.

🔧 Original issue:
My power liftgate was acting up it would open a few inches and then automatically close - my car dosent have the recall for the liftgate unfortunately

🛠️ What I did:
• Disconnected the battery for ~10 minutes (no change)
• Checked wiring (no visible damage)
• Replaced one of the motorized liftgate struts with a used OEM part from another 2016 Cherokee

✅ Result:
• Liftgate now opens and closes perfectly 👍

❗ New issues (started after driving the car):
• Odometer is blinking continuously
• Driver-side window switch is acting weird:
• Driver window ❌ doesn’t work from driver switch
• Passenger front window ❌ doesn’t work from driver switch
• Passenger window ✅ works from passenger switch
• Rear windows ✅ work from both driver + rear switches

What I’ve tried:
Ran PROXI alignment multiple times (AlfaOBD + Vlink)
→ All modules show “completed successfully”

My thoughts:
Feels like a module configuration/network issue (CAN / PROXI mismatch?), maybe something related to:

• Driver Door Module (DDM)
• Body Control Module (BCM)
• Something not syncing after swapping the liftgate part?

Appreciate any insight 🙏
