Opinions?

 

I have been using this brand, so far so good, only thing I found is less is more, it tends to glob onto the cutting, so I wipe any excess amount off, also good to save any you can since it costs quite a bit.

You probably already know this but many figs grow vigorously without rooting hormone, although I appreciate the question and all answers.  I will probably try some in the future as a safety net.

Clonex is fine. Using nothing is fine. Using a powdered hormone seems to accelerate rotting of the cuttings, for some reason, which has been observed by many people.

Tried the powder and lost wayyyto many to mold. Now I don't use anything.

I have used Clonex, hormodine 1 and hormodine 3, the last two powder. The best one without any doubt is hormone 3. You can see a strong root development in a short time. 

I just read that aloe vera was being used instead of hormones with good success.

I use dip n grow and I dilute it with water.

I use this stuff, about half the price of clonex and just as good but, you have to get it on eBay.

It's a green Gel ...Ez Clone Rooting Compound

Thanks all!

I've done head to head trials with a bunch of other gels, including the green one above and a very potent orange one.  Clonex has always come out ahead for me.  Everyone has different growing conditions so you almost have to try them for your self to see what works best for you.

Clonex has my vote, and if you are looking for a aeroponic or coco additive try Rapid Start Rooting enhancer.

I prefer Dip n'Grow over Clonex

So I finally got my clonex and whoa... did not expect all of the warnings (including avoiding skin as the product is transdermal). I wore vinyl gloves and then put the packet in a ziplock bag and stored in the fridge. I hope I did everything alright.

I started mine with just cinnamon and I've only lost 1 of 26 to mold so far this season.  http://www.gardeningknowhow.com/garden-how-to/info/using-cinnamon-on-plants.htm

Yup--I read another article that the enzymes in saliva help too, so I'd make a fresh cut, licked it, dipped it in cinnamon, and stuck it in the cup of growing medium (I use Miracle Gro Sphagnum Peat mixed with potting soil).  The only one I've lost so far, and it's been about 4 weeks, was a very thin Lyndhurst cutting.  PS: don't let anyone see you licking your cuttings, my husband still makes fun of me.

I've had good success with Dip'n Gro rooting hormone. I've also had success without any hormone.
When rooting figs what I found to be more important is the proper dampness and quality of the soil mix and humidity level.
I've settled on using Pro Mix Bx mix 50/50 with Perlite, I seem to have less rotting or mold and an overall  better success rate .
Then again for some varieties I've just stuck the cuttings in the ground and had them take off.
