Would the top arrow be considered the 3rd or fourth node? I notice you Did not draw a line to the first leaves at the bottom.
Thanks for the helpful info. Appreciate it very much.
It would be considered the 4th node

Are you supposed to snip the little nodes that grow immediately where the branch forms? Right where that bottom right arrow is. Do you trim those, or let them grow?

No the actual stem where you see the newest growth
When you do that it will split in two possibly more. The first top i did split into two and then the main stem
Kept growing lol I topped again and basically gave me way more tops lol
Those are your bud sites @JBizzle. So if you want to increase your yield you have to make sure these bud sites that are growing big and flush with other bud sites receive same amount of light to avoid getting popcorn nugs at harvest. You can also choose to top these as well or do some LST work on them to make sure your they are in the light; or if not that, you can also defoliate whatever is giving shade to the bud sites such as unwanted leaves. The only problem i currently have is figuring out what type of leaves are your sugar fan leaves that need to stay there and avoid getting pruned for those leaves are highly beneficial for when it comes time to flower. (Im guessing their the ginormous full weed leaves with all fingers

@NOo_Reggie basically all the leaves directly on the stalk are the major fan leaves ā¦ on my plant the fan leaves connected to the stalk are freaking hugeeeeeeeeeeee oh and shout outs to you for being a laker fan !!! Been one all my life and yes I do think Kobe Bryant is better than Jordan ā¦ NOT TAKING OPINIONS 
@JBizzle donāt trim those new branches growing in they will be numerous bud sites later onā¦ also kind of donāt need to worry about trimming important stuff until close to flowering ā¦

Can anyone explain training the branches? Is that just bending them out of the way?
I topped my plant yesterday night and by morning I had 2 new sites grown past the cut, very exciting however I feel my plant is growing very wide and am afraid to prune to much or the wrong thing15409382667709166469508745286654|375x500 z

You can bend/ tie down / move the plant however you like to form the shape you want ā¦ I topped and made my branches split like a wide y in order for other branches to grow straight up for maximum light exposure but itās all how you like ā¦ but the idea is move the growth the way you want to attain maximum light to all bud future bud sites

Your plant looks great and to me itās just not ready to show. My girl stretched for a while before she showed as well. Right now I would just sit back and wait. Looks to me like a great job lollypopping just pluck those little ones trying to grow and your good.
