From above link: "This is because the larvae, when they run out of fungus in the soil, will start to nibble at your plants' roots!". Probably the reason fungus gnats are not a problem outdoors, plenty of fungus.

So why didn't you ask that simple question instead of implying there was a scam at hand? Easy enough, no?

Looks like he pulled all of his cuttings off Ebay as of yesterday, I sense a resolution on the horizon for you Smyfigs... Fingers crossed.

I would lower your expectations a wee bit, looks can be deceiving, just saying...

I ordered 5 JH Adriatic cuttings from Mountain Figs about six weeks ago. All five have rooted and are growing like weeds under grow lights. I take no credit for the success, I received fresh cuttings and followed his instructions to the letter. Heck, I went five for five with his Maltese Falcon cuttings too, I coundn't be happier. If you are up for "one last try" I would recommend Mountain Figs or Herman's cuttings - they are great too.

Good luck,

RC

I have been growing indoors for 15-18 years total. It will not help me any.

Would you mind linking the lights that you are using? My head is about to explode with all the choices...

I wouldn't do a thing until you identify what you have.

Did you ever get around to testing the Peroxide solution?

Thanks

I think the included sample of "root boost" gives plausibility to their LSU AgCenter story. Where else do you get all of those samples?

Keep us posted as I may take the plunge next time around.

I would like to have and try some other rare figs hard to find than just regular kind of figs. I love dark skin figs with dark red pups inside, don't care much for light skin figs. Please advice and let me know where to buy these cuttings?
Thanks

Silly question; Can the "grounds" be used as a spice, smoothie addition or sprinkled on a salad?

I can't figure out why you couldn't but it seems silly that Coffig would limit their market.
