Day 3

First off, I dealt with the mold problem by letting the box sit without adding water (but for a few drops) the last two days. The result:As you can see, the former patch of mold is almost totally gone. Also, there's a good deal less mold everywhere (hardly noticeable in the plant pictures).

Also, I changed the set up even more today. This morning, I added another grow lamp on the 'rents recommendation. Next, this evening I added tinfoil from a local coffee shop.

New set up:
Now, on to the good part -

Big picture view:
Morning Glory, still a bit leggy, but doing okay:
Carrots, plural! (and there are more on the way!)
Cucumbers, much less leggy:
Basil:

Lettuce, well as always:
Tomatoes!
Looks like some carrots are joining the basil in the milk carton:
Styrofoam - massive diversity:
Cup:
And just a couple closeups --

The wonderful variety in the styrofoam:
