Hey Buddy,
First of all, don’t be hard on yourself. This does happen, especially with autos and unconventional lighting. You listened to your instincts and you still got a harvest, and honestly… it looks nice and healthy.
Harvesting a bit early is never the end of the world. You saved what the plant gave you, and that already counts as a win. Many people walk away with nothing, you didn’t.
About the seeds: I’d personally avoid germinating them. When seeds come from a plant that likely expressed herm traits, the chances are high they’ll carry that tendency forward. You might get lucky, but the probability of seeing the same issue again is significant, especially if stress shows up.
That said, this is just our humble opinion. If you feel curious and want to experiment one day, that’s your call, always trust your instincts.
Take the lesson, enjoy what you harvested, and move forward.
Growing is a journey, not a scorecard. You did great 🌿
