His progress is much better then it was we are learning together!=]

oh kool and thanks i use a tooth brush too

Bellski11,
you soon will get better the more you try and root them and learn by your own mistakes.
Then you will be truly hooked and want to root more and more and watch em grow.
See
 the fig bug can be as bad as a mosquito bite when you get that itch.

Thats a nice way to put it deisler! hehehehe im alredy rooting more in the bag but the ones that are alredy rooted in cups with dirt should i be watering them if its dry?

Depends, how are you determining whether it's dry?  The top of the soil is very deceiving - it can be dry and cracked like the desert during a drought, but just under she surface a few millimeters, it can be the perfect amount of moisture.

I have a series of checks I perform to see if the soil is actually "dry".  Having wet soil on top could be an indication you're overwatering.

I push around some of the dirt on top.  If the soil is "moist" (not wet) within the first 3/4" - 1.25" of the soil line, then the plant has plenty of moisture.  I also look at the drain holes.  If the soil is still moist at the drain holes and the cup is still somwhat heavy, I know there is sufficient moisture in the soil.  If I put holes in the side of the cup (as I usually do), I look at those holes to check for moisture also.  Just feeling how heavy the cup is (like JD talks about a lot) is terribly helpful in knowing how much water is retained.

The key point to remember when dealing with rooted cuttings is that they don't need a lot of water, they need the soil to be moist, not wet.  Wet soil is bad.  Moist soil - think of a nice moist cake - is perfect.  The trick is to have the proper discipline to stop yourself from watering, which is something a lot of people fight with.

Yes Jason sum it up pretty good.
As for me to not overwater i always go by weight, different mixes will have different weight but once use to whats what you can tell.
Going by weight when i lift cup ensures me no overwater as then can endure underwatering better than overwatering once the roots start forming .
Once overwaterd not good because they cant absorb it and sit in wet soil and suffocate themselves no oxyegen i would asssume sort of like drowning and go straight south in most cases.
