Hey guys I was wondering if someone could help me out and if there was any way to tell if my plant is a hermie? The last two pictures I think show best what I'm trying to say.
White Widow a Hermie?

Hard to tell from the pics "can you do macro shot?"

is there a way to tell?
yes, during the flowering cycle females will show swollen calyx with pistils emerging while males will show sacks without pistils.
(both pics widely available on google) Hermaphrodites most often first appear as females when sexually mature and then later may show sexual confusion with either the pollen sacks -stamen-where calyx would be or sometimes as exposed pollen sacks that appear as yellow bananas usually found in the flower buds and not below.
your dont look as if they have sexually matured. how much light do they get daily?

Waaaaaay to early, friend. Wait til you kick to 12 12 and it will show you
Thank you so much guys and as for the light it's on for 20/24 but now I know I'll have to wait I just don't want to stress her out too much. It's my first time so i believe it when I'm told to calm down ha. Ive gotten to learn a hell of a lot of new things by trying this like for example I thought just any bucket would do, man was I wrong on that. I thought I was doing good at first, until I found out about our friend pythiummmmm. I just thought maybe there would be a way to tell. But I really do appreciate it so much guys, thank you
It has the two little hair looking things growing between the fan leaf stems and the stalk in between where I'm holding it with my finger. From what I've seen I thought that meant female I just see a little growth between the two hair looking things where my fingers are and thought that might mean it was Hermie but I'm guessing that's not right

Not to knock your grow method but if this is your first time growing soil would have probably been the best option. Looks like you're doing DWC which is a very good method but brings it's own set of issues that can easily be overcome but at the same time can be much more challenging than a simple soil grow. You will definitely learn a lot. Have fun with it. Don't overthink things. You can get good advice on this forum. You'll be smiling as you harvest you own bud in a couple months. Good luck.

There are no female "hairs" showing in any of the pics. Just normal little growths that pop up in the crotches on all plants.
