Day 15 Flowering
Day 75 since start
There's now 6 plants in the room, two per tub, three tubs. Five of the plants are confirmed females, and I feel very confident that the last one will be female as well. Looks like an even 50/50 split on the sexes. For the first week of flowering the Bushmaster seems like it curbed the vertical growth. Of course it could just be that the plants went from receiving 24 hours of light down to 12 hours of light and weren't growing as fast due to the new light cycle. Either way vertical growth went from 2 to 3 inches a day to about an inch a day. The last couple of days it seems that the plants have really started bulking up, bushing out especially. Since the removal of the 5 male plants these last few days, the ladies have done a great job of filling in just about every gap, as you can see from the picture taken looking down on the plants. They all look extremely healthy and showed no sign of nute burn since the last water change. After flushing out the Bushmaster two weeks ago, I upped the concentration to about 80% full strength which was around 900 ppm. Tomorrow the plants get fresh nutes. I plan on using the same formula as last time with the addition of 3 mL/gal Purple Maxx. I'm still hoping for two pounds, but really anything over one would be fantastic.
Here's what it looks like.

^Sure let me know.
Day 20 Flowering
The one plant still hasn't shown its sex. There are the start of pre-flowers on it and I am still confident that it will be a girl. Out of the 6 plants, two are a bit small, two are medium but bushy, and two are just phenomenal with more developing colas then I can count.
Also it took three weeks but 1 of the 21 clones has rooted and comes from a confirmed female (one of the best females too!). I took off the humid dome lid and moved her up so she's now 6" from a T5 light in a rubbermaid grow chamber with a small squirrel-cage fan inside providing ventilation. She's in a 1.5" rockwool cube with roots coming all the way to the bottom of the cube, but hardly any leaves are growing yet. Hopefully she'll make it, I'd love to keep this strain alive and plant some outside next summer.

Day 24 Flowering
HOLY SHIT I've heard a ton of people on here say that when you start flowering, the real excitement begins!!! These ladies are getting big! Going from pre-flower emergence two weeks ago to how much bud these plants are packing on astonishes me. I've had to tie down the tallest tops cause some have creeped their way up to within 4" of the light. Today I started noticing a little bit of leaf tip burn on the top fan leaves so now the top colas have been angled away from the light instead of pointing straight up at it, and the tallest tops are back to being 10" away from the light.
The last plant is indeed a girl.
The last of the clones has died. While this makes me a little sad to see her go, there really wasn't any place to put her right now. And as big as these Sativas are growing, I probably wouldn't want to grow this strain again in my closet.
I'm gonna start adding a little molasses soon for carb boosting. Getting close to harvest, can't wait!!! Pics to follow later today.

Bev- how SAD about your clones... I hope a few of mine survive!!! i just cut up my last two plants. for another 20-30 clones. If they make it i dont mind sharing 
Good luck on flowering- im looking forward to it

Bev, everything looks great. I have a small pointer though. Not trying to criticize, obviously, since that is working. Those containers aren't entirely light proof. They work, no doubt, but they are more functional when they are either taped with black duct tape, or even better, sprayed with (rubber textured) Plasti-Dip (Home Depot). Depending on what you used for your cloner, that may help. The minor change can make a HUGE difference. All the best.
