i dont think those are trichomes.
they appear to be more like small hairs emerging
from the leaves, quite interesting though...
technically trichomes form during flowering stages
so i'm almost positive they are not trichomes,,,see
how they bend? definitely appear to be healthy though
thanks fer stopping in folks,it's gonna be a fun journey

Trichomes are specialized epidermal cells present in most plants. ...there are two types of trichomes commonly found on leaves and stems: peltate and capitate.
...All trichomes develop very early in the life of the leaf. First, a protodermal cell, prior to division, undergoes reorganization, with the nucleus migrating towards the upper (apical) end of the cell, and the bottom of the cell filling with large vacuoles. The cell then divides asymmetrically and periclinally. The lower, vacuolated cell becomes the foot cell (or cells), while the top cell undergoes another periclinal division. The bottom cell of the second division is committed to stalk cell formation, while the top cell differentiates to form the head cell or cells (Karousou et al., 1992). The head undergoes additional anticlinal divisions as necessary, depending on whether the trichome is capitate or peltate and contains numerous cells (Ascensão et al., 1995).
Since trichomes develop so early, the number of trichomes per square unit of leaf is dependent on the expansion of the leaf's epidermis, i.e. the growth of the leaf.
