These grow lights are amazing, all my fig trees are doing fantastic under them



 

Looking good!

Looks great.  Can you provide some details on the grow lights you are using?  Thanks.

These are on 15 hours a day

Are they specifically for plant growth or normal lights?

Are those t5 bulbs.

Yes, the whole setup is about 300 watts, not too crazy and more than enough for what I need.

The GF is one of the small ones in the group, all my fig trees have figs and large leaves! 

Nice looking little tree!

Very nice.

The Godfather in his home town of Long Beach NY. I have no idea what I am doing but I have been a fig fan since youth. Old Brooklyn guys were obsessed with figs,tomatoes, cucuzza.....Coops cuttings are very hearty if a novice like me can get them to take. Thank u

wow, awesome!

keep us updated when you get figs!  good luck

JT, for someone who has no idea what they are doing your cuttings look great.

JT... Have you observed any degree of variability in rooting cuttings in terra cotta versus non terra cotta pots? I have always had problems maintaining adequate moisture in most plants potted in unpainted terra cotta since even the slightest breeze tends to dry the soil out. I was wondering about the efficacy of using terra cotta for rooting fig cuttings for this very reason since over watering kills fig cuttings faster than almost anything else other than gnats; it's possible that the natural moisture wicking of terra cotta might actually be beneficial in mitigating the results of our tendency to overwater....  Thoughts?

Thanks,
Tony

I just use whatever pots I have laying around. This could be the first time I used terra cotta so I told you I have no idea what I am doing. I usually just take cuttings and stick them in a pot of soil. some take and some do not.

Lol... JT... some of the most significant discoveries of modern times came about by pure chance or as a result of efforts in unrelated areas of endeavour that proved to have collateral implications across the broader landscape...   :-)

WOW.,, I haven't been here for a bit and am loving what I am seeing.
Really nice looking plants Peter thanks so much for posting. And John, for a new grower you are totally on the right track. Whatever you wound up doing is really working.
Keep up the fine work guys, you will be well rewarded for your efforts, and keep those photos coming

Was under grow lights, now outside.  I have a lot more but this pic will do.  100% success rate with the Godfather and Brooklyn Dark JP.  Must be something about Coop!


 

Brooklyn Dark JP, also from Coop.



 

very nice!

Beautiful Dan, love it, and you will love this fig. It is prolific and very tasty. I've been growing it for years now. I'm guessing Mt Etna, but no proof positive. Lets just say an excellent dark fig from a very old and unprotected tree in Brooklyn.
Anyone who bought  Godfather cuttings from received this guy as a bonus.
Good luck to all growing this fabulous duo.
