      When you say chaneeled I presume it is lapped one over the other..Seriously cedar or anyother shiplapped siding should not be caulked where they run east to west..only north and south..such as arounddd the corner trim,,windows doors etc…cedar needs to breathe or it will create mold behind it if sealed to much..it will also contract and expand alot with the changes of weather, heat/cold/rain etc..and eventually crack right back out….
