Are they all indica dom? Not sure about the maui.....I would take clones wait a week then flip it.
Just in case. I would really just be looking for a mom off each strain right now. You can see how these plants grow out....next time...you'll know when each REALLY needs to have the lights changed. Based on how they grow. And you'll have all ladies.
And you can have some smoke in between the grows. A learning experience with a payoff. Thats a good thing.

I would clone now then root/sex clones. Toss the males and the plants they came from...then flower the female plants.
Keep the cutting for a mom. While the plants flower...get the clones into medium and now you have a mom for every strain.

Yeah it will. But getting a mother will keep you "in the green" indefinitely. Not cloning will only give you the bud you grow now...then start from seed again. Get some mothers man. Having moms of 4 strains......cmon man.

Bloodshot is right.
Clone moms is where it is at.
You can put clones straight into 12/12 and have buds every 2 mo's if you want.
Takes alot of the time out of the equation also you know they are female.
And knowing is half the battle.
LOL

and just think... you'll know your moms by the end of this month after cloning, rooting, and letting them sex... and let them finish flowering for a bit of bud to smoke before your big harvest
this then allows you to get rid of all plants in your veg room except for the 4 moms... allowing you to amass an army of clones for as many flowering plants as you want... haha
or you could get it rotating so that yoour harvesting a different strain like every 2 weeks... just gotta get the timing down for that...

Yeah...you'll have alot more options. An army of clones....That just sounds like a good thing.
You could do 12 plants a agin later....3 of each strain...all female. Possiblities.

cuz cloning while flowering can cause some unwanted shock to the babys... not saying it'll destroy them... just saying why take the risk if you don't have to? whats an extra week?
i dunno... thats how i see it... i wouldn't mind wasting a few rockwool cubes or bit of soil to save some shock
best of luck!

ok, heres a good reason not to do it that way...
its gonna take another week or two until they are sexed
then another week or two until they revert back
so you might not even have your moms till the end of this month... with no flowering bud...
if you take clones now...
by the end of the month, you'll have those same moms all vegged out and toped so they are nice and bushy to be mommies
plus you'll have whatever clones leftover that were not male flowering for some more immediate smoke... then you add another few clones, then a couple weeks later a few more, then another couple weeks you throw some more in (and probably taking out the original clones you had in there at some point soon...)
thus starting your continous harvest much sooner... =]

yeah, just top them like three or four nodes down, and clone the toppings... that'll get you on your way to making nice squat bushy moms...
plus, whatever females you don't end up using for moms (well, atleast lets hope that there are more than one female of each kind) you can also throw them into the flowering chamber too... they'll just flower as a normal topped plant would
that way, when flwoering, your not wasting a bunch of space with bigger males... you'll just have the smaller clones and select females flowering from the get-go...

yeah you still got those 6 hundies coming in huh?
that'll also help with flower different strains... you can adjust the different lights to differnet heights if need be...
