Clear liquid in Calyx, sign of seeds?

I have loads of large swollen calyxes on my plant 3 weeks into flowering they look seeded but are full of sweet clear liquid.
Anyone else had this before?
Oh and they're definitely not 'bananas'.

Cheers for the reply, theyre sleeping now but i'll pop another open later to check if its sticky. As for the smell it wasn't pungent but a really light fruity aroma, another thing is they 'swelled' pretty much overnight from not being there and from what i've read seeds tend to take a while to develop.

Hey man, I just chopped a Northern Lights #5 last night with the same calyxes! All strains have different bud structure and calyx formation. I believe the strains we have are just very 'calyxey' and swollen at that. My first thought was hermie too, I looked EVERYWHERE for banannas and nothing, I chopped the bud last night did an amazing trim job because I could trim around all the large calyxes. I think your alright, btw mine are also full of the clear liquid.

Hah I was looking everywhere too! Some dude a few streets down grows and i was thinking his were contaminating my ladies. But it figures with your theory coz I have a strawberry cough in flower too and its completely normal. I was thinking it escaped some cross pollination because its a foot taller than the others but this fits. Cheers man!
