Found some larger expandable peat pellets , i like these as i dont have to break apart a bunch of small ones to put in cup. I have some scion about a week old that were in a baggie just starting to show some bumps.
Going to stick scion in each one no gel dip and post results in about 4 to 6 weeks here in this thread.
Last season i first tried the small ones and liked the results its easy for me stick em and forget em least for a while.  ; )
Also i did similar with fresh cut off my trees  and used smaller peat pellets that i had to break up and put in cup and you can view the pictures if you have not seen in this thread

Thanks for all these cool stories Martin.

I love to try different ways of doing things with figs, I cant even get to my all of my ideas!
By the way, my sticks that I had water with an aquarium stone bubbling didn't proceed beyond root initial stage.  I just took them out and planted them out in the open in the garden for kicks. See how tough they are...

Take care

Ciao Martin, I have soo many of these peat pellets, I will try this as I won't plant pomodori or peppers since leaving for Florida in first week June, ( Moved earlier now) and loosing mind, but i do have sooo many of these pellets and will use them this way you have found. You always make things so interesting and fun on this forum. Ciao martin.
