I don't see any hermie signs. Are you asking because this lower bud is not getting nice and fat like the upper ones? Because that is normal. It's why people lollipop the lower branches off of there. So the plant can concentrate the energy on the nice buds up top. Not enough light at the bottom for nice buds.

Did you take any pictures along the way? You can usually tell -or get an idea- by looking at the preflowers, but it seems yours is already flowering. If it starts to develop seeds later on and their are no male plants around then yes it is a hermie.

You're fine. See the bud in my avatar? That plant is almost done flowering but because it is so tall the bottom buds still look just like yours. They will always look small and scraggly unless you put some lighting near the bottom.

I'll post some pics of my fat top buds and scraggly bottome buds to ease your mind later tonight when I get home. Give me an overall shot of your plant and I could tell you better whether lollipopping is a good option for you.
