Seed pods or swollen calyxes

Hello fellow RUI-ers, I was inspecting my buds and I'm not sure what's going on with the bud formation on some of the plants. I'm growing Animal Cookies from clone in 6x6x6 rockwool cubes under a dual 315w Cmh bulbs in a 5x5 tent. I'm in week 6 of flower Plants have always looked healthy and haven't had any problems with anything besides how much this strain stretches in flower. I had to supercrop at 2.5 weeks into flowering because of limited height. Below are 3 different buds from the same plant that is very noticeable. So my question is this normal bud development or swollen calyxes or seed pods developing? No naners that I can see and when I squeeze the pods or calyxes they're squishy not hard. The light is so bright I don't know if the photos due any justice, I'll take more in the morning right after the light turns off for more clarity.
Thanks, DG

If you are worried, peel back a calyx layer and see if a seed pod is developed. It will start out white and gain striping as it matures. The further you get into flower, the more the seeds will just pop open the calyx and be visible. If you don't have any fully formed white seeds in your calyx at this point in flower, you don't have seeds.
 
I'm sort of in the same boat. I just finished week 3 of flower and I'm noticing that some pistils are turning orange on two of the colas of one my plants. I have also noticed that some calyxes at the nodes are starting to swell. Is this normal? I dissected one of them to see if there was a seed but I only saw the pistils attached to a small, ball point pen sized looking sac. This isn't happening anywhere else in the room except on this one plant. Am I good? I haven't seen any balls anywhere or any nanners for that matter. I attach some pictures for reference

I'm growing in Roots organic soil with biobizz nutes under a 315w cmh hood. Ph hovers anywhere from 6.5-6.8 and I feed nutes at qtr strength every other water. No signs of nute burn or deficiency anywhere. Please help

Looks normal to me, make sure you look for naners, light leaks during lights off, also even the red/blue/orange little lights on humidifiers, air conditioners, fans, meters, etc. can give off light stress. Double check the calyxes in 2 weeks.

Mine ended up being some really swollen calyxes.

This definitely eases my stress a bit. I keep reading that calyxes shouldn't be that swollen this early on but we'll have to wait and see.

No light leaks: I blacked out all windows and place black duct tape on any small light in the room including timers. The paranoia is real haha
