My Avocado seedlings

I have uploaded a pic of my avocado seedling.. I'm going to upload some more seeds that I have going though they aren't doing anything yet..
I am shocked at one.. I planted it not even a week ago and it has already split!!! when I get them all uploaded to the gallery I will link the pics here as well..
I can't wait to graft them!! I think I am a grafting addict!!!

here are pics I uploaded to the gallery..
seeds in peat pellets that I keep on top of fridge where it is nice and warm and no direct sunlight but they get florecent lighting

here is seedling just before I potted it..

root of same seedling...

same root just pulled the peat pellet cover so the root could grow better..

one of the seeds that has split.. just a week or so after "planting" I did soak it in warm water for a few days befor planting..

It looks like you just set the seed on the starter pellet. I think I might start some later when the price goes down since I don't like the avacado itself.

I like the way you domed the seeds with the plastic bag. I agree with Andi. Look's like your seed is in a peat pod. Nice Photo's

I love those peat pellets and Ziploc baggies!! I can bulk buy the peat pellets.. and the baggies are fairly cheap also.. I even have those super Ziploc baggies.. I usually use gal or two gal bags for seeds and seedlings.. and they can easily be rinsed and reused.. they provide great humidity level.. and all I have to do is pick up bag and look to see if any roots are on the bottom..
When I pot up I usually put pot and all in a Ziploc baggie for a week or two to allow roots to get started in the new soil before taking away the EXTRA humidity..
If the humidity level seems to be lower I will mist spray in the bag.. Rarely do I have to do this unless the seeds are taking forever to germinate..
I blow in the small (not SUPER, 2 gal and under) bags Provides fresh co2 and keeps the baggies off the plants.. the above pic I wanted to get both baggies in the pic so I let out all the extra air.. I blow in the bags at least every other day if not daily..

For the avocado seeds I did take my finger and drill a larger hole in the top of the peat pellet to allow for the larger seeds.. the hole is not very deep at all.. Just moved the peat so there is a shallow fat hole.. generally for citrus and other seeds and cuttings I just use a chopstick to drill the smaller deeper hole..

I have freed up space in my mini greehouse and have placed the avocado seeds there..
