I'm just hoping to be able to sort my peppers out before they get that large, since I expect that many of them will just be jalapeños or cayennes instead of more fun varieties.

I've got around 30 varieties that recently sprouted from a couple semi-shady merchants. I doubt most of the varieties are what's offered, so to save space I'd like to sort out the ones that are wrong species so I won't have to wait until they bear fruit to see.   Most of the varieties I got...

  Yeah, I know it's not going to maximize yield, it's as you said a fun experiment :)   Putting them in the soil isn't really an option here in Sweden, as I'm not going to be able to overwinter it then. I'm planning on having a bunch of smaller plants in pots as well - this large one is mainly...

I've seen that some people have really large pepper plants, which proves that peppers can grow larger than just a small pot plant in the right conditions. That got me thinking - what is it that limits a pepper's development? Is it genetically limited to a certain max size?   If not, I guess it...
