I am not sure where exactly to pinch off my avocado. I am growing it from seed. When it reached 6 inches or so, I trimmed it back to half. Not it has sprouted a new shoot, which is again about 6 inches or so with a few leaves at the top. I want it to get fatter at the bottom before I worry about leafing. What do I do? Help.

Give it as much light as you can. Move it outside for the summer if you haven't. These articles should help.
