I just noticed your "#2 black maderia. I keep killing them. Lol"
I've grown easily over a 100 to various stages of maturity. I've never lost one once they make it to quart size but I have seen them drop all their leaves (too much soil not enough roots). IMO, this is not a plant you move to a larger pot quickly. You need to get a nice root ball going before moving to a larger pot. If I were keeping a gallon size (after it had a nice root ball), I would move it to a 12" clay pot and again wait till you have a nice root ball going. BM is usually a weak/slow rooter. It does not like lots of wet soil to few roots. If it doesn't die it will just sit there doing nothing.
Other figs react the same. I traded for an Abyad July 2014. It arrived in a 3 gallon pot, heavy soil about 1 foot tall. The person told me it was doing nothing. It did nothing for me the rest of the year. Early this year I pulled it, shaved the sides/bottom and stuffed it into a 1 gallon trade pot and then to a 12" clay pot. It's now over 3 feet tall and gave me figs.
