What is a good way to fatten buds fast? Would running my lights 24/7 help? And approximately how long does trichomes take to get milky and Amber?

Having good quality light does help, but changing it to 24/0 won't help at this point in my opinion. There are various bud builders, like using molasses is a natural way, humic acid or amino acid products. Advanced nutrients has big bud. Pk boosters like beastie blooms by fox farm. All plants are different with trichromes but i think a 2-3 week period they'll change significantly. Happy growing.

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.
