Step 1: be sure the cuttings were really from females to start
Step 2: check your space for light leaks. Turn on lights outside the door/windows/tent/ what ever your set up is. Turn off the lights in your space and sit in the dark for a few minutes. Any light leak will become quickly apparent.
Step 3: If both 1 and 2 checked out ok, get new genetics.

Tip: if you released pollen in your grow space, clean everything good or you might find seeds in your next run.

Yes they are female. This is my third run with these same genetics, and had no problems before. I also have checked for light leaks and hermies.

If the plants were excessively root bound or otherwise had major stress, that could cause weak genetics to herm.

If you have run these girls before with success, something has changed. Girls dont just go dude for no reason and its usually light related.

You checked for proper timer function too?

That's the thing, I haven't did anything different. That's why I'm so puzzled.

You might not have done anything different, but something is going on. Something as stupid as a work light left on or timer malfunction has doomed many a farmer.

Go hang out in your room when the lights are supposed to come on, and again when they are to go off and see what happens. Opening the door 5 mins before lights on wont hurt them now.
