It doesn't look like a hermie...yet; I have a plant right now that looked like that and I wasn't sure so I let it go and it's far and away my best plant (and also is female). I'd say give it a week as it might be a Sativa strain and have a wicked long flowering cycle (10-14 weeks possibly) so it might be showing it's sex soon (or it really is a hermie and it's showing it's sex now lol). But from the pic you gave it looks hard to tell...give it a few days of growth and then you can be sure.

Howdy. I've had my share of hermies, been dealing with a couple for the last couple weeks. I wouldn't worry much about that, you'll know if/when you get male flowers cuz they're bright yellow and they look like a bunch of bananas. The first time I had a plant herm on me, I knew as soon as I saw the nanners just cuz they look so out of place.
If you start to see boy parts on your plants, you can either toss em, or pick the flowers out with tweezers every day or 2. You might get a few seeds letting them finish, and it's a pain in the ass with bigger plants to keep hunting down the flowers, but it's usually worth it. I only trash em if they're really covered. Also, make sure you look em over outside of your grow area, under clear, non-HPS light. Yellow light + yellow flowers = hard to see. Hope that helps.
