Sky I re read what you were trying to explain and I think that you could do it that way, but you just want to make sure that you are getting the amount of water you want. For a few bucks you can order, or rather in some cases go to a land scaping/irragation secction of a store and find this tubing that has drippers in the hose every 12 in, you just fit the tubbing or hose on to your pump and posission the hose around your pots angling the drippers into the pots, but you would have to do some real munipulating of pots and hose to get it set up right.
