No, trichomes are more complex than that. Some plants have a lot of trichome density, others are more sparse. Some trichomes are tall, some are short. Some plants have trichomes of a uniform height, some have a mix of tall and short. Some trichomes have big heads, some have small heads, etc etc. I do believe these variations in trichomes are what give you hashy/sandpaper plants, or sticky plants.
Bud density is a completely different trait which relates to the flower formations, calyxes.

Fish scale by Cookies fam genetics has everything you are looking for. Although you probably won't find it in feminized seed form anymore. And if you did they are going for about 600 dollars for a pack of 12 seeds. It has rock hard dense buds with streaks of purple running through the bud and it is very sticky and has loads of trichomes. It smells very stinky, very gassy with hints of grape. Here is a picture of it in week 6 of flower. It's a genetic cross between Gelatti and The Menthol.

I presume you are asking about growing....? (as opposed to what to buy at the dispo)
Yes, trichomes are what we are really farming for at the end of the day. Of course, there are all kinds of different qualities regarding trichomes, too. Generally, though, I'd say that if you find a variety that produces a lot of big trichomes, then it's a good indication that the potential for a good smoke is there, too.
Don't trust going by the names. Look for varieties that are low-to-moderate yielding. Look for a low leaf-to-bud ratio. Avoid varieties that are advertised for high yield (in most cases). And I'd absolutely NEVER recommend an auto flower. Avoid them like the plague, in my opinion.
Of course, after you find a variety and grow it to perfection, you then have to dry it to perfection and then process it (in whatever way) to perfection. It's not just about the seeds. It's about how well the entire journey from seed-to-smoke goes. Different growers will get entirely different results from the same, exact seeds. Trust me on that one.

I grew a cereal milk S1 that had chunky very dense buds

Sorry but there are no seeds worth $600 a pack. Thats pure greed if you ask me.

I assume that's on the second hand market. I wouldn't pay that much either, but it's not uncommon to see discontinued packs going for that much. Hate to say it, but something is worth what someone is willing to pay. Even if it's foolish to you and me, it doesn't change the arithmetic.

I guess you are right. I can just grow something just as good or better for way cheaper.

I've seen a lot of growers in a professional capacity that will drop that much, do a hunt, and then they're making $$ off their flower sales one way or the other. They can sell on that hype name. For them, it makes perfect sense. For a home grower? Yeah, craziness imho.
This was from my last grow. It is supposed to be blue dream but im not so sure. I got it as a clone from my local grow store. Unfortunately I did not take any clones from her. Im kicking myself for it.
These were not only the most dense and stickiest bud I've ever grown but seen. Hard like golf balls. Im looking for something similar.

Definitely not the santa cruz blue dream clone, but looks nice regardless. BD has long skinny fan leaves, and doesn't really purp out like that. It stays green and develops a light blue/lavendar hue, but it's subtle. Very sativa looking.
Man those are some of the nicest & tidiest plants I’ve seen. Very nice grow across the board. And the buds look insane…..phenomenal genetics that were grown totally on point.
Do u mind me asking your medium and how U feed them??
I'm frikin drooling on myself. Beautiful. Looks similar to a Sherb Cream Pie I am doing.
