CO2 supplementation can increase yields by up to 40-45% and reduce flowering times by up to 5-8 days.
It is quite possible to have a nursery room with 20-24 hours light and then flowering rooms either naturally lit with supplementation when required or artificially lit and crop every 40 days form the same area of grow space.
That's over 8 crops per year.
The light from the sun is very different from artificial light, it has a huge PAR rating and therefore can penetrate deep into the canopy from 94 million miles away , a 1000w HPS struggles to penetrate at 1m height for more than a few inches , this is why the technique know as lolly-popping where the bottom part of the plant is removed to encourage top growth as lower growth is stunted by lack of light penetration.
(SIGO use this technique, I have seen it in the pics on Instagram)
No lamp can come close to what the sun can do.
Take a look at some of these plants...The same results can be had in a greenhouse

The quality of the plant's buds as in potency is pretty much consistent thru-out the plant top to bottom, small bud or huge bud, so for extraction this would not be an issue.
As for root size, there is a direct correlation between root mass and plant size and health.
A small plant has small roots and therefore is small in stature and yield. Conversely a large plant has a large root mass and large yield, the yield of the large plant is not proportionate to the smaller one.
The bigger the plant in height then yield follows , the plant produces more budding sites and larger , more dense bubs when cared for in the correct manner.
Aesthetically the larger the buds the better when it comes to drying and a decent 3 month curing period.
Horticulture is only a good as it's weakest link.
The Sun is the best there is for lighting plants , fact.
Co2 supplementation is a very basic component of any cannabis or high value crop. If you do not use CO2 then you are missing out BIGGLY
