Short plants vs tall plants

I know that yield will vary by genetics, however, overall, do tall plants produce more than their shorter growing counterparts, with all other factors being equal ( nuts, time in veg, temp, lights, etc)? Anyone have any experience with side by side results?

I am wondering becuase right now I have some bubble gum plants, and they are shorter than any other plants I have grown to date for their age. I have some easy ryder plants ( 1/3 larger than theBG) and pinnapple chunk plants (double the size of the BG) that are the same age as the BG. I have never grown the BG before, and am wondering if I should expect less out the the harvest of these plants? Anyone ever grown them before? thoughts?

Thanks for any and all comments!

Generally yes. BUT, it really depends on the lighting. You need better/stronger lighting for the light to reach further down on the taller plants. On short plants, light is less important since the whole plant is closer to the light source. And, some plant strains need more light and others do well with less. Lots of variables......... but again, I've found normally taller plants will yield better than shorter- assuming no pinching or branch training is going on.
