Has my plant hermied?

Not that I can see. What am I supposed to be looking at there? Perhaps someone with better eyes will spot a young banana emerging from the pistils down there, but I just see a female plant doing its thing.

It's just that, maybe im paranoid as I was watching a video about growing on YouTube and they touched on hermies and sacks and I'd not spotted them before that Iv circled

Those are not male pollen sacs but female calyx's. Stop watching youtube videos. They're full of poorly delivered, confusing, and just plain bad information.

TBH, first time I ever saw those older mature female preflowers I was really concerned as well! haha

Some strains or phenos will put out early preflowers that actually mature but don't throw out the 2 pistils that we expect. When it does it to a newbie like we all were were at one point, it's like "What is this? WTF?". lol

Err... you can watch university seminars on soil science on YouTube if you're into it.

There is lots of great stuff on YouTube, but it's like every other social media; you need to be able to discern what's factual from what is not. But you're right about videos that are weed specific. They tend to be filled with a bunch of bro-science, sprinkled with a little mysticism and good marketing. lol
