Day 59, day 20 of flowering
Wow sorry all, my digital camara got wet and broke
No pics for a while. If the camara is anything like my cellphone that got wet and broke it will work fine again as soon as I buy another one. 
Anyway the plants are doing very well
7 looks friggin awesome, the top 7 inches is so thick now that you cant see the stem anymore.
9 and 10 are getting a little top heavy (a good thing)
6 has recovered from its droopiness (was just dry i guess)
3 and 4 look great.
And #1 is still kickin. I've been checking it for balls daily. There have not been to many, but there has been some. This plant has like a dozen real nice budding tips, so as long as i can keep checking it for balls and there aren't that many, I'm going to keep budding her. Its definately hermie but its still going to produce some nice buds.
I hope I can get some pics up asap, but untill then look at last weeks pics and then imagine the plants bigger and full of white (and a few orange) hairs

Thank you tryintogrow, thank you zilluz.
I must say, I am quite pleased with the way things are going. I have been putting alot of effort into this grow. I haven't mentioned it, but i spend a bit of time most days manicuring these plants. Like tying fan leaves up down and over & under the bud sites trying to get light where it needs to be. Also clipping single blades if necessary when they are shading budsites.
And for the amount of lights I am using (over 800 watts total growing 7 plants) I would hope to have some decent results. I know I know, 800 watts! I could have a couple 400 watt hps lights, but....I don't HAVE any hps lights. And they are NOT cheap! Many of the lights I am using I already had, and the ones I bought new where really cheap and some where even aquired for free. Also, I'm battling the heat from these CFL's in the closet and an hps would be even hotter! I do plan on getting a 400 HPS though. Then I will veg in 1/2 the closet with CFL, and flower in the other side with the HPS. Thats the plan for the future anyway....stay tuned....
More pictures in a few days when I take them out for a water and a manicure. I'll have my gf take the pics and get some good closeups of the tops for ya'all.
Oh yeah.... no roots on the clone I took from 9 yet but its still green and standing so....hopefully.....

Yeah, Ebay is great. I've seen those. I'm going to wait untill winter time to get an HPS because then the heat will be almost a bonus rather than a problem.

Well shit on me...
I was searching the buds on #1 this morning. Looking to pluck off any balls that have developed. (Damn hermie!!) I noticed a big ball sack that apparently I had missed during the previous inspection. (I have been checking every other day.) Anyway when I pinched it to pluck it off....pollen (dust) came out!! DAMN!!!
Obviously this is NO GOOD, especially since I've got 6 other ladies in the house. I was hoping to be able to pluck the balls off that hermie and keep growing it. But, I can't risk it anymore. That damn pollen sack was hiding on the inside of a bud right on the main stalk. Damn, damn, damn!!
I'm going to have to kill her...ahem...It! I can only hope that the little bit of dust I saw won't pollinate any of my other ladies.
What a rookie mistake. Letting that hermie hang around to cause trouble like that. It was such a nice looking plant though, was making a whole bunch of nice buds. I thought I could keep up with it, and I was mistakin
And then there where 6....
