Lokks good and healthy. It may take a few weeks to see signs of growth depending on the environment it is in. Avacados like warm humid temps with lots of light. They grow only in zones 9/10 outside. anything less than 9 will get freeze damage. I have had trees for extended periods in zone 8 but eventually the weather takes it's toll. You can successfully keep them in pots for many years indoors with the correct settings. 1.) near a window with a lot of natural light , souther exposure is beat.
2.) temps no lower than 70
3.) water when dry not before. they do not like wet feet.

as long as it is warm outside...they really need warmth not sun at this point..

Welcome to the site, Smackem! 
Sorry I didn't see this thread earlier. I've studied avocado growing a lot and have tons of great info. Yours looks great and is setup exactly right but it can take as long as 6 weeks before it starts growing. When the water starts looking old be sure to change it with fresh water. And yeah, zone 9 is the best place for growing them. Anything colder and you needa grow them indoors in pots and prune them if they get too tall. Anyway, when it starts growing be sure to let us know. There are other things you'll def needa know. Oh, and 80-90 degrees should be fine but it wont need the light till it starts growing so it's better just to keep them in one place near a window. But I wouldn't try growing them in temps in the 100's. That would prolly be too hot. Hope that helps! If you have any questions, just ask.

sorry for you loss...but WOW that is great ...you will have a farm before to long...
Keep your eyes on the pads. They are pretty costly, about $30 each. There isn't any kind of indicator to tell when they no longer work, but you can feel them with your hand when they do. I believe they have a built-in thermostat though that shuts them off when the temperature is warm enough. I could be wrong on that though.
smack,
sometimes if a seed goes dry, as long as there was no root you can just re-add water. Seeds lay on the ground sometimes for months before ever having the right conditions to sprout.
Your babies look like they are doing good. Keep us posted.

Looks good healthy. This may take several weeks to see signs of growth in different environments, is like the warm and humid with a large number of temporary workers inches Avacados light. They grow only in areas 9 / 10 outside. No less than 9 will be frost damage.
