You veg in the buckets too?
Yeah. I sprout in root plugs, put them in 6 inch bubble buckets until there are roots, then into these 3 1/2 gallon buckets that are flood and drained 3 times a day with Canna aqua nutes. The nute storage reservoir is chilled. Using home made COB led lights adjustable to 50 watts/sf.

Here is a pic of them when they were small, they are still in those same buckets now.

I veg in 1gal buckets in a flood table and I made insert for the tops of the ebb buckets that I slide the 1gal on top of so it acts as a suspended bucket. Uses alot less hydroton too!

Just cleaned out my system. That was fun! I made the mistake of running botanicare the 1st time and the liquid karma had my buckets and lines all gunky and stinky. Now I use powder.

Also do you have problems with roots getting stuck in the filter caps at the bottom of the buckets? I'm always digging them out after each run. Thinking about putting in some screen door mesh to keep the roots out

I hate cleaning hydroton. My system uses a lot of it.
I turn the plants in the buckets. This keeps them growing full and straight and the roots out of the hoses.
