First makeshift grow VCDC

I thought I had flipped them, but in messing with the timer I accidentally set it to 24 hours on for three days. I can't tell if it helped or hurt. progress was delayed, it was actually flipped on 9/26/2017. I've had a small pump recirculating water from a five gallon glass jug, insulated from light whenever I leave for short vacations. (four or five days every two weeks) I find when the water drains much slower it really makes the roots grow to seek them out. I've never had less than an inch of water in the bucket, tho.
