I almost got off subject by comparing the technical differences required for efficient growing by Full Spectrum versus Sodium and the resultant difference in THC/Chlorophyll ratios, but the larger yields are not related to that separate subject except in an arguably minor way which is the source of many conflicts.
Light intensity and coverage coupled with turnover makes the difference in this case, not the spectrum.
