If using the index and new cable I screw the adjustment barrel all the way in as cables stretch. Then I pull the cable tight with needle nose pliers. It doesn't have to be guitar string tight but it shouldn't have any slack in it either. I've never been able to get it tight enough with just my hand.
Everyone else that posted is correct as well. I just plan for cable stretch is why I put the barrel adjuster all the way in. Also when you cut the cable after adjusting... if you don't have crimp on ends or they are a hassle try using shrink tube.
