Hey guys woke up to this in first grow in a 2x2, I was very upset and And I don’t know what to do now, they are bag seeds so I didn’t lose anything but time with them but i want to know what caused this so I can avoid it in my next grow.. any advice would be appreciated
Is this a “hermie”?!

Good Morning,
It’s hard to tell with the purple light. Because it is from bagseed, if it hermied, it probably wasn’t something you did, unless the growing conditions or training really stressed out the plant or there is a male nearby. I would research a lot about male plants and look at pictures online then compare them to your current plant.
When you buy seeds you can search for seeds that are easy to grow or for beginners, I think that’s a great way to start learning. If you buy clones you can ask them how easy they grow and only buy feminized seeds. Also when you buy clones from reputable people/places they are female and that helps ALOT!
Good Luck and don’t give up!

That appears to be showing female flowers and male flowers, so... yes.
ETA: Agree with Tessa as to the rest, bagseeds are often the product of self-pollination, and they're likely to pass that trait on to the offspring. Maybe you stressed them a bit more in some way, but it was probably a ticking time bomb. Sorry!!!

Those appear to be male pollen sacks on a clearly female plant, so yes, it's a hermie.
You can try to pinch all of the sacks off carefully, but note that you're still at risk of pollinating the entire crop if you miss any.
In the future, always post your pictures with your grow lights off. As you can see by looking at your pics with the blurple on, it's impossible to get a proper visual.

Thank you all, I wont give up I just purchased new seeds from humboldt county and their autos so hoping it is less of a hassle, I will hold on to this grow a little longer as i am dying to harvest a gram of my own weed, but it was definitely a very educational first grow.
