I have a question which I cannot seem to find information on. When a plant is just barely starting to flower, is the trichome production greatly diminished and increases as the bud grows?

I really don't see very many crystals and I am wondering if this will improve over time or whether it is poor genetics, poor environment, or both. I can't seem to find any pics of teeny tiny eensy weensy baby buds to compare against. Of course, the bud is almost entirely leaf material at this point, but I am almost thinking that all the new material growing should be stinky and sparkly. If anyone has macros of their first beginnings of bud development I would really like to see. Thanks.
