id like to see the problem worked out in a post so i could see how you figured this out.
i call bullshit until otherwise

WTF?

you would half to tack a sample and count each head and then work out a formula for the hole plant.some one from mit would know.
My point exactly...
I prefer to measure my harvests in ounces or grams.
As does anyone else who isn't a dumbass...

This is borderline ban posting...
Remove 10 glands, weigh them, divide by 10 for average gland weight.
Get 10 grams of bud, turn it into BHO, weigh the BHO, divide by 10 for avg total gland weight per gram, multiply that by total grams in harvest, divide by average gland weight = apx # of trichomes
Seems like it would work but since the measurements and samples are so small the data would have a poor confidence interval (probably be way off).

if you're gettin mad at this thread, the trichome count on the buds you just smoked is too low. Please smoke more and try again 
for real kids, take it light and chill
now if ya wanna actually do it, take several small samples of different portions of the bud, each of an equal, small size. Next count up the number of trichs using a microscope (or if you're superman use your laser vision........just don't vape any of the herb :wink
, average out the number of trichs per weight of bud. Weigh up the bud, divide by tester piece weight, multiply by number of trichs per tester piece weight.
or just weigh up buds total mass, turn your buds into hash, calculate the avg weight of a trich of your given cultivar by weighing several unique trichs and then dividing by the number of trichs weighed. Next divide your total weight of hash by weight per trich. Voila! number of trichs. so simple a toddler (einstein) could do it!
for real though, this is so much better than most of the junk posted in the tokers den, so don't complain about how stupid/frivolous it is.
note: my methods are probably wrong........and i don't care!!!!

I know this equation is possible, but is ridiculous. Mr P. I know you understand that a normal trich head is 25u-73u, but what are yours? There are 3 main types of trichomes, varying in size and shape from strain to strain. Did you count the total surface area of all plant matter? There are WAY too many variables to even begin to answer questions such as these.
Irish has it best described with his method of madness... and in other words, finding the exact number of trichs is almost impossible...
However an equation to find out the number of trichs per gram might be a little more helpful.

Irish's way is right, this is how most things of this nature would be done,[I used to do species samples at the national parks by this method] ie take samples , find out how many trichs are on a square say 5mm, average this out, do the same to the leaves, stem, etc where ever there are trichs, weigh samples equate results, Finito!
Ok so If we use TPP's (Trichs Per Plant) as a measurement scale, we could rationalise these down to smaller denominators to say TPB (Trichs Per Bud) TPL (Trichs Per Leaf) and TPS (Trichs Per 10mm length of Stem) and then averaged into TPG (Trichs Per Gram) which would give you your TPP.
