Im really not picturing what your saying, at all. Sorry.
But I grow in 3 gallon kitty-litter buckets. Theyre big plastic buckets, but are square so they basically fit together. Square pots are much easier to cram together, and mine are about 1 square foot each, which is pretty much perfect for my setup.

Ok, im picturing it now. Im picturing like a 5-6 inch windowsill? If so, You'd want to have something at LEAST 6 inches deep, and plant the plants no closer than 1.5ft from each other. If you did that, yeah, you should be good.

General rule of thumb to go by: your plant needs roughly 1 gallon of rootspace for every 1 foot of vertical height.

i only have 1 plant 
so what i was thinking is if i put it in like something really tall , but not that wide, it'll work, i'll throw some pics up in a couple min tho.
edditt, it will be wide, it just wolnt come out that far off the window cill , becuase another key thing, their is a blind that comes down.

The roots will grow wherever theres medium for them to grow in, it doesnt necessarily have to be down.

For the time being, yes. You can probably constrain it to that size pot for all of flowering, but ideally it will eventually need more room. Dont forget to drill holes in the bottom!
