To Strech Or Not To Stretch!?

Hey all..
Soo I have been reading mixed thoughts on this and would like a few more opinions on the subject? As of now my girls look very short and compact and I'm just wondering if it would make sense at some point to stretch them in an attempt to gain greater yeilds?
Cheers

I can tell you this; my plant was pretty short and squat, and, being that the nodes were so close, some of the buds are practically stacked on top of each other. They appear all bunched up, and I do think their close proximity had some affect on the yield I will be getting

Soo would you make an effort to stretch next round? .and how close did you have your light during veg?

Definitely gonna make an effort to stretch, so I can put my scrog setup to work. Had my 400w LED at 19", but will take it up to about 3' for the start of my next grow, then adjust, if necessary.
