The girls are nice and healthy. Thirsty as can be, i watered each with about 1 qt of filtered/bubbled/pH'd water (more on that in a minute) I barely had a few tablespoons in the catch tray afterwards! They must have a killer root system starting up!
Gwen is still the larger of the two, with her second leaf set already fanned out and her third in the works. Liza is just behind her with her second leaf set starting to extend, but nothing like Gwen.
I also treated each of the girls to 2 drops of SuperThrive today. We'll see if that makes a big difference or not over the next couple days. In my experience with it, you can tell by the next day whether it is having an effects. It brought my tomato vine from the verge of death back to good health in just two days. Keep in mind, they recommend a 1/4 mL to a gallon, or 1 DROP to a cupful, I went with a very diluted strength roughly 1-1/2 - 2 drops per quart. The young ladies should be able to handle this just fine.
OH! About my filtered/bubbled/pH'd water. I'm using water from the tap for this grow, that has been filtered through a Brita countertop model. After filtering I tested the pH and it was a SPOT-ON 6.5 pH which I thought was pretty lucky! On a fewllow RIU users advice ( SomeGuy ) I bubble the water with an airstone for about 20 minutes to encourage the chlorine to evaporate. When it was all said and done, the ppm of the water was about 137-140 (meter danced a lot) the pH jumped to roughly 8.0! After balancing her with a little pH Down, I had filtered 6.5 pH 140 ppm water ready to go!
I might get some pics up later, they are at that stage where you just know, tomorrow they are going to grow by INCHES instead of 1/4's of inches.

EDIT: Also I turned the hood fan off and it dropped the temps back below 80... VERY interesting. Don't know what fan I'm talking about??? Check my post on the previous page, you'll see it.
I guess I'll have to find another way to work a circulation fan into the tent. DAMMIT! ONE little detail I forgot lol
