I've never seen this happen before but I also don't have experience with growing a wide variety of strains so I am not sure if this is normal or if I have something special here... hopefully something special. It is only a couple weeks into veg, just old enough that I topped it for the first time at the 4th node, so it has a ways to go before flowering even begins. Typically I don't see anything like this until I am a couple weeks into flowering, and even then the concentration of trichs isn't as much as this young plant until midway through flowering or so.

Any input from you experts out there would be greatly appreciated since if I have something unique here I will have to take extra care in keeping it safe, and preserving the genetics so I can document and learn all there is to know about this strain, and then share it with the world. Its an indica dom strain. Oh and it has an amazing/strong smell, which I also typically don't notice until they get a little bit larger. Here are a couple pics I took, the pics aren't as good as looking at it through a 10x scope but you get the idea..

Yes you have trichomes , along with factors indicative of a certain lineage perhaps.
