Both pictures are of the tricot of Dec 2 and Dec 15.  December 15 photo shows 4 seedlings.  The tricot here is the same as Dec.15 photo plant on very right.

Better results here seem to be having the grow light closer, a little over a foot from the plants.  I only have three living seedlings now, this tricot, a dicot and another hatchling (I'll call it) that I am not sure if it is a tricot or dicot yet.

You will notice the apple with 5 places where seeds will grow.  This corresponds with five petals of the apple flower (I believe).  The last photo here is an apple seedling and also another just coming up.  You see the hypocotyl as an upside down U with the remnants of its seed.  Within the seed are the beginning leaves (cotyledons).  Apple trees are dicots compared to monocots.  Grass and corn are monocots.  Dicots are plants that come up having two beginning leaves.
