You can not expose any color film to light at any time prior to bleach or blix.

The images look OK for some reason.

If you scanned without any kind of color correction and just inverted colors, you should see a greenish/cyan cast because of the orange film base.

But I think you know that.

Nothing. This was 4th Roll. I have feeling my temp for Developer was either very high or low.
Plus now this roll Bleach is 6-7 Mins
Fixer- 6-7 Mins
5 Washes
Stabilizer 1.5 Mins

I had the same problem (very dark negatives, resulting in greenish/cyan casts in the scanned images) with the Tetenal powder kit and it turned out the problem was that my thermometer had drifted several degrees.
