Mine arrived today.  There are surely white bumps forming but they are from one end to the other.  Shall i simply bury the whole cutting in potting mix and let it sprout leaves where it will?

Charlie,
Plant the 3/4 in soil, leave 1/4 out.

Oh well I did leave a node uncovered and it's starting to send up some green.  :)

 

A little poking around gently also revealed at least one nice root.  I didn't bother it any more after that one.  This cutting is in a terra cotta pot, uncovered, on my kitchen table.  Have been watering with a spray bottle about every two days and not much else.  No mold issue. Hmmm.

Thanks for the nice cutting Aaron.     

Hello little one, hehe ;)

Excited for eveyone.

Jarrett,
When you settle, let me know?
I'll prepare you a nice starter package :)

There's another poking out through the soil...

 

Charlie, how do you control moisture and do you water during this period?

Every couple days it is given just a few squirts from a spray bottle around the cutting, as it has from the start. Read somewhere to water close and let the potting mix wick out any excess toward the outer edges. Really to me it is on the dry side compared to what I have been doing, which has likely the cause of my mold issues. 

Looks like that one is leaning over when actually it's growing toward the window.  

yeah, I have an issue with over watering my cuttings as well, need to re train myself.
Although i haven't lost cuttings to rot due to overwatering, seems like they stunt if overwatered...just an observation and I don't know if it's just a coincidence?

When I first joined the forum here and started messing with cuttings, my mindset was on what mushroom growers call "field capacity", important to know for indoor mushroom cultivation.  I just figured field capacity was a standard thing across the board.  Pretty much means if you grab a handful of media and squeeze really hard, you should just get a few drops of liquid out, not a stream.  

My opinion now is that this is too wet for rooting fig cuttings.  Well, at least this ONE has done well so far.  No mold or if there is I can't see it lol.   

no, no... your assumption is VALID. I have been noticing with my new rooting batches that less water does better in rooting, specially when I am using same containers as a cover,so..., i never water they again until it's time to open the covers for good and /or up pot right away because roots hit the wall.
I have amazing results with Grasa's Adriatics, I divided them into 1-2 nodes because I want to create a series of grafts using her Adriatic as a root stock.

First batch of cuttings I did were in a big covered tote and about half of them made it.  When I started using smaller containers with covers, my mold issues really escalated and success rate went way down.  Now this one has been uncovered and appears to be dry all the time.  I want to wet it down but look it's doing great.  I still want to wet it down lol.  Got to get a different mind set. 

Today was watering day but I didn't as usual.  Instead gave it a drink from the bottom by filling the little plate about half full and it was all absorbed within a couple of minutes. Also began rotating the pot so the shoots would straighten up.

 

next thing you know you are seeing tiny figs at every leaf node ;)

That second shoot kind of shriveled up for some reason.  The main one is doing fine.  See the difference in the first two leaves versus the third.  Added a top layer of super soil and worm castings about a week or so ago.  She likes it I think. :)
