Indoor drip system to water/feed a 4x4 soil upstairs?

What would be the best way to set up a drip system of some sort for this application? 4x4 tent with 4x4 table, currently I fill up water pots and mix my nutes down stairs, carry them up stairs, water the soil, let the run off drain into a bin below, then I take the full waste water bin and walk it over to the half bath next to the room with a tent and dump the water.

has anybody tried setting up a “Y” off of their bathroom water line and install filtration? What about some sort of gravity feed if I have drip/bubblers in the pots? Trying to figure out something easier

thanks

I would buy a reservoir and place it underneath the current tray. Place a water pump in the reservoir pumping water to each of the pots.
Just like a wilma system.
To fill the reservoir up i would use a hose to pump the water up and to empty it i would attach the hosing to the water pump and pump it downstairs.
Recirculatiing drip feed system.

I use a 70 gallon res - under a a 4x4 table. with a 55 gallon garbage Can res outside my tent that i fill with tap
300 gph pump connected to 3/4 pvc through a filter supplies the manifolds / drip emitters
titan apollo 9 timer lets you water down to the minute.
Under my sink I use a water diverter to attach a garden hose my tap is 150ppm and works fine.
to drain the res i use a 172 gph pump
I have run drain to waste and and re circulation with this set up but useing the garbage can outside and the res under at the collection. I tried the re-circulation method as i saw vader og and his flood and drain and thought it could be possible.
both work depending how often you feed and how much run off you get and what nutrients you use etc.

wow awesome thank you for the links! i really didnt know what to do for plumbing, I actually bought a two way off valve to plumb from the toilet valve - Basically replace the half inch valve to 3/8 inch water supply line to the toilet with one that has two 3/8 inch outlets that are switchable. I was struggling to find something to convert to garden hose pipe sizing

Thats what i did for my water line. I just dump my empty res down the toilet

For 3/8 to garden hose connection look at washing machine connections... often they have a 3/8 line that steps up and connects to a garden hose size with male thread
