Before anything else, I just moved and am still unpacking so I apologize for the chaotic pictures.
The first two pictures are my younger baby, the third is the older guy. Both babies were sprouted from regular-ass avocados from the store, although I started them about 5 months apart.
Are they different variations? Is the younger one etiolated?
Also since I have you guys here…. when in their growth cycle is a good time to repot them? And do I need to slowly transition the one in water to soil or can I just pop it in and go? OR is now a good time to convince my husband that spending $2000 on a hydroponic setup for my avocado baby a good idea?
Any words of wisdom are appreciated! Thank you!!

I am by no means an expert at all, but like apples, pears, peaches, apricots, plums, mangoes, and cherries, avocados do not grow true to seed. This means that each avocado seed is a random hybrid of genes supplied from the two avocado trees that pollinated/produces the fruit. So if both avocados were from the same tree, and were pollinated by the same father tree, they might not even produce the same hybrid fruiting tree, like the way two children of the same parents are siblings but not identical to each other or to either parent.
