Are my plants hermaphroditing from early transplant?

So I had some seedlings that I started in a tray in little cups filled with soil. I then transplanted them after about a couple weeks into red solo cups. Since then I have had them on 15 hour light 9 hour off lighting schedule but now I have seen what looks like signs of hermaphroditing on a few of the plants. Tonight I will be changing them over to June light schedule so they are ready to transplant outdoors when the weather is good enough. See Attached the plant, sorry its not a great photo, phone camera but it looks to me like it turned hermie. Its still very young, about a month, I'm wondering whether its transplant shock. Any thoughts?

I had two others I thought hermied, but the one I posted is almost forsure a herm. It has little bell looking growths which I assume are pollen sacks. I think you may be right that the others are just new growth. Totally agree though, its very weird itd be showing sex-signs this early in the grow. It even had a small cluster of pistols that looked like pre-flowers. Is it possible that stress caused the plant to show preflower signs and herm?

hahah yes unfortunately I didnt check in for a couple days and some stretched like crazy. Ive adjusted lights since then and started some low-stress bending to the stalks to try and fix it.

No it shouldnt really sex but maybe it happens. Not really confident you know enough so grow them out some more for your benefit.

Well you said you had been running the lights at 15-9.this could be your problem.15 is awful close to 12 and during veg cycle they need a minimum of 18 hrs of light a day.
