whats a true node

when my plant gets to about 5 nodes i was going to top it but it says to top it at the 2nd true node whats that mean

a node is where a set of true leaves grows from.

set after your seed leaves (cotyledon) comes your first set of true leaves then your second set (true node)......................http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Plant_nodes_c.jpg.

ok so then its really the third node
