Not Sure if Fat Calyx or Hermie

So I noticed some rather fat calyxes in comparison to the others on the same plant. I could of sworn one of the plants had calyxes that were forming seeds (squeezed somewhat hard shell, popped and juice came out), so I chopped it. I started looking at all my plants and noticed a couple of over-sized calyxes on them (1 on each plant). I plucked them off. Also noticed fat calyxes at the nodes, is this normal? I don't see any hairs. Not sure if i'm just paranoid from my first grow that hermied on me a couple of years ago. I am just starting up again. Thanks in advance for any help. I attached a few photos.

Thanks for he quick reply, I can't seem to figure out the definitive difference between a Hermie seed and a calyx. Do hermie seeds look a lot different than this? I've looked online everywhere, starring to think I have monkey mind on this. Also if seeds were developing in the last plant, does that mean the rest of the crop is pollinated?
 
First pick is a straight up hermie the others just swollen maybe on their way to hermie... good luck
 
That happened to me, same thing swollen calyxes underneath some of the buds. When i broke them open it looked like the beginning of a seed in there, still super small.

Im not positive but it could just be genetics, maybe a little stressed, i didnt get too stressed when it happened, i never found bananas or any sign of herming
 
I hope I'm wrong, but one of mine went hermie, no banana, pollinated whole crop all I ended up with was a low yield, and,lots of seeds.

Ebcrew, did you just let it flower out or pluck it? No other signs of pollination? Thank you for your reply.
 
Go to Growweedeasy.com you'll have to look around a bit but the pics she shows of the different kinds of hermie problems are good and direct. The pic she posted of hermie balls were my plants....

Jren437, I've looked around including the site you listed, I could of sworn the calyxes look different than the Hermie seeds, then again I don't know if they're just starting to develop. The other thing is I don't see bunches of balls, only one or two that still kind of look like the female calyx.
 
Well like I said only the pic looked bad to me so maybe it was the angle. Hopefully you're good. Not much to do at this point but let it play out
