Wow, you flipped them at the same time? What a difference. You'll have to refresh my memory. What strain are they?
im guessing the seeds are early finishers and the clones are not?

If I'm not mistaken Maui is a sativa. The others are hybrids of the indica persuasion. You're going to need to flower the Maui a lot longer than the rest...

The og kush, snow bud, and critical have a flowering time of 8-9 weeks. The Maui is 9-11 weeks. Your mileage may vary... I'd recommend clicking back your lights to help that maui finish in the later stages.

Sativas sometimes need a little help to finish by increasing your dark period. So maybe around week 7-8 you can switch to 11/13 and after the hybrids finish go to 10/14. I've heard stories of sativas taking 14+ weeks to finish....

I don't know of anyone who has changed the light schedule like you suggest to have any opinion about it other then I be afraid of hermie.. I have extended my dark period to 36 hours the last day just before harvest. I be more concerned about the plants in picture 3 and 4 as to why they havn't shown signs of flowering.

Some strains definitely take longer than others to flower! Usually the ones that are slow flowering like that often tend to get really tall during the stretch, and need longer before they're ready to harvest. I agree with Royal Nugs that if you harvest the others and the Maui is still taking forever, you can make the days shorter to get them to mature faster. Like he said, first 11/13 then 10/12 if it still needs an extra push 
Since the days are shorter the plant "thinks" winter is coming and tries to hurry up and finish!
I've never seen it cause hermies to shorten the day like this in late flowering, though if you're worried you could make the day period just a little bit shorter every day, like 5 minutes at a time, just like nature Another thing about these Sativas is sometimes the trichomes (glitter on the buds) never turn amber like most other strains, so if the buds look totally ready and the trichomes have mostly turned white and don't seem to be developing further, it means it's a good time to harvest
