Why are my clones turning into males and flowering in the veg room?

Everything is setup properly and I haven't had this problem in the past. The only thing I can think of that is different from the past crops is that it is now winter and the basement isn't as warm as it was. Could colder temps make the plants start flowering in the veg room and turn half of them into males? The lights always have been and still are running 18 hours a day, and like I said, everything else if being done properly. Also, it's not the strain because I have several different strains that came from different sources and they are all doing the same thing. Any ideas???
Thanks

Were they fem seeds, cuttings, or regular seeds? I have never heard of cold weather enducing flower or turning plants male.

Hmm that is weird. If they were cuttings from a female plant then the worst thing that can happen is that they will go hermi on you. They wont go from female to male no matter how much stress you put them under! Can you get some pic's up so we can see what you are talking about? How well do you trust the person/place you got the cuttings?

I don't know the person. My "business partner" got them, but it was from a cousin of a good friend of his. I hope they aren't hermies. We started with 66 plants... 6 dried out while we were away, and out of the rest there are about 30 females and the rest appear to be males. I thoroughly checked them and see no white hairs coming out anywhere on any of them. Guess we'll have take what we can get out of them and hope it doesn't happen next time. But here's the weird thing... there are a bunch of of other plants that we got from a completely different source all together and they are also starting to flower in the veg room.

Your plants will show sex even in veg. Once they reach maturity they will start to show whit hairs if female. What are you looking at when saying they are male? Are they growing balls right now? What are the sighns that you are seeing makeing you think they are male?
