Look at the buds. Generally they are made up in sections of a leaf and a flower cluster. As you go toward the main stem, gaps start to appear where there is stem and no bud. That's where you clip. By leaving the smaller buds, they get a chance to grow larger.

I just did a partial harvest of a Jack's Surprise. I took off about a dozen partial buds that by my calculations should yield about a rather generous 1/3 ounce dry weight. This is the second partial harvest- the first was last week- just 4 buds that dried to maybe 1/4 ounce (more of a taste test than a harvest!). The majority of the buds are still on the plant. Next harvest is the last for that plant. I should get another 1/2 to 1 oz from it. (I live in a county where the sheriff says he'll bust legal MMJ growers if their plants even LOOK like they could produce over 8 oz! I keep my indoor plants small on purpose and produce just enough for me and the hubby.)
