if trichomeson a bud or two near harvest get damaged is there any possibility that they can 'grow' back and how long does this take

Consider how long it took for the trichomes to develop...

Considering that farmers in Nepal RUB off trichomes NUMEROUS times in a season or even over NUMEROUS seasons at times, the answer would OBVIOUSLY be YES, trichomes are THERE to protect the leaves from sunlight. If they get rubbed off, they will, in time, replace themselves. Whether the AMOUNT will EVER be the same is debatable. But they WILL ooze out MORE droplets to protect themselves.
