What Germano is trying to get at is you wanna LST Growth nodes and not leaves... Google Marijuana plant parts and they kind of have diagrams and pictures. Part of growing good medicine is research, I'd say it's the number one thing. Don't take peoples word for things, take what they are saying into account and find your own information. The more I grow the more I wanna know and the more I see some really weird practices in the community... There is a brilliant conversation thread in Doctorphilgoods latest diary where we discuss psychological bias and what effects it has on peoples ultimate "results". Take a read it's definitely an interesting read for both new and experienced cannabis growers alike :).
