Yes, a philips HPI-T Plus 400watt MH. It's similar, well, somewhat comparable, to the 4200K elite agro 315W but this 400w mh actually produces 1000lumens less. I got it last run to replace a 400watt hps (son-t) and didn't really pay attention to the type, just asked for a phillips 400w as usual. Obviously not efficient but I normally use it only a couple of weeks between T8 veg and 600w hps flower, and for that purpose it's actually better than a regular hps, and still saves me a couple of weeks of running 600w.
The reason it's still under 400w is because I removed less plants than expected. I will have to remove more but if I put the 600w hps above it now they will stretch more.
Here's a less color-corrected version:
Already spotted a few males, and as usual, they are the best looking plants. Switched to 12/12 yesterday. Also a little earlier than planned because of the plant count.
So far I used roughly $2 in Canna terra vega nutes.

Sativied,
When you top them, do you top them each at the same spot node-wise, or do you top them each at the same height, to even out the canopy?

At the time I topped them leveling out the canopy wasn't really a goal yet. But as I mentioned in I think UB's topping thread, topping them late-but-low did have the bonus effect of bringing them closer together again despite the small age and hence node count difference. Top a plant with 5 nodes and a plant with 7 nodes both down to the lowest 2 and you get the same thing, roughly anyway.
That effect is gone in a matter of days though, I topped them all over 3-4 days at varying height and after topping it's the height of the branches (tallness + stretchiness) that determine the outcome canopy-wise.

2 weeks before the group shot above:
Removed 6 plants since, so 25 left. Aiming to flower 9 females completely. If half is female, let's say 12, I only have 3 females to remove, so I have to let them show sex first. Good chance I won't flower any of the #19 line, allows me to flower more of the swan's offspring. I'm hoping for 7 females from swan offspring and 2 from #4. #4 is mostly to see if I'm missing out on the more sweet-skunky line and I may ditch that one completely too.
I'll be very happy if against expectations they all stay short, or at least none of the extreme tallness from the chunk genes. It would be luck though, previous round, the F2, was mostly just the pheno hunt round. I now want to breed the traits of the swan true, while improving it. That's putting it very simple, the reality is that if moving away from the swan yet to something still as good leads to more stability I will take that instead.

Why take pics with flash if you use an MH... 
Using the flash creates that skewed yellowish in new growth... chlorophyll detector...
With flash:
And this is more like what I see when I open the closet, but then again without that the yellowish
The Swan - #22 from the F2 (revegged late clone)

This is the plant I mentioned I'd kill if it wouldn't start looking more like the rest soon:
Here it is now:
Was at least 70% sure it was a male based on her structure. Males tend to be bigger and brach out faster and are therefor usually the ones that stand out first, ime...
The difference was minimal, and still is but it stands out in a good way, and I'm very pleased to see that she's a she
Pistil a little fuzzy on the pic:
Protected by a dense layer of hair and a frosty stipule.
Trichome: Any hairlike outgrowth from an epidermal cell of a plant, as a bristle, prickle, root hair, etc
Origin of trichome: German trichom ; from Classical Greek trichōma, growth of hair ; from trichoun, to cover with hair ; from thrix (gen.trichos), hair

And gone he is!!!
That piece of shit MoJ who fucked it up so badly over the past years, refusing to work with other politicians and mayors towards a real solution, the inventor of the grow shop law, the weedpass / blocking tourists IS GONE! Resigned today. (lied over the amount of settlement an other MoJ made years ago, turned out to be neary 5mil instead of 1.25...)
It's not a matter of whether things will change, but how fast. It's possible things will actually get worse (very slim chance), but if anything he proved what happens if you fuck with coffeeshops and growers, you get a mess and fuel crime.
Best news in years...

Something about symmetry and a purple hue. I don't know...it's just nice

That is probably your best case scenario getting rid of him so quick, like you say, could get worse but after hearing a bit about him you should do better with whoever replaces him
Congrats!

Thanks, it's somewhat ironic too, that settlement he misinformed the house about was with a drug lord. He can finally retire now, he's in the 70's... he could afford to politically suicide, I don't think we've ever had anyone like that (so shamelessly stubborn), and it's unlikely we'll get one this bad again.That is probably your best case scenario getting rid of him so quick, like you say, could get worse but after hearing a bit about him you should do better with whoever replaces him

Video in english (or with subs when dutch), it's about the mess in the south here, but also shows what a "special" guy the MoJ was... they guy choosing between raiding growers and human trafficking is head public prosecutor and it this point the nr 1 anti-cannabis ahole. It also shows nicely what a mess things become when you close shops:
