What is a good way to fatten buds fast? Would runn...

Don't fool around with the light schedule, it is a highly risky move than usually ends with a plant going hermy, once you are set using one, stick with it. The buds fatten a lot in the last two weeks; the thricomes take up to a week to mature after the buds fatten (when the calyxes swell). To make the buds fatter learn to train the plant to have a flat canopy so all buds have the same distance to the light. By the way, half a gallon of water a day is way too much.
