If you pinch or cut off a leaf, 2 extra leaves will grow back. Thats what I heard farmers do for growing commercial crops like tobacco. Is this true for marijuana?

if you cut the tip of the stem then 2 new stems come out.

That's the concept behind Topping and FIMing. You get bushier plants and instead of one main cola, you can get 2 or more.

What Fdd2blk & hearmenow said is completely correct, but to add to what they've said, there is a technique called "tipping" that I have used with success.

Basically at 21 days into flowering you snip off the very tip of a bud.
The bud than fills out more and increases in weight.
I hope this helps you.
