The cuttings were started 10/31 and 11/5 in spagnum moss. I went with T5 bulbs and my citrus trees really respond well but it might be over kill for figs. Some here think T8 are good enough plus it is less money. But this is what I have and it works well for cuttings or seedlings. Chad

Thanks Chad for Posting pictures.   I think you're doing a great job.   I'm going to start taking some fresh cuttings on my own here In a few days and start rooting myself on some of my more precious varieties.

Thanks again for posting pictures.   Really enjoy looking at the results.

Here are my cuttings Ron! It's hard to see but many of these have roots and swollen Buds. Here is a pic with T5 lights on. If viewing this pic from a smart device, you can zoom in and see those Bud's starting to leaf out.

Looking good Dennis! Can't wait to see the root progress on those bad boys once you take them out to up pot.

Wow these look great Dennis. How are they coming along now? I'm with Frank that you sure do make one long for a cloner. So many cuttings waiting to be trees. ;-)

Sweet. I'm waiting for another 100 tree lots to show up and I'm going to pot up the rest of my cuttings. Great way to pass the time on these cold winter nights.
