I normally use 8" pots.
Demon red looks like a small plant, I would say 1ft to 18inches max.
Hot carribean blend looks like they are various types, so 2ft to 3ft.
I couldn't find the gourmet type.
The maximum I have seen is 5ft which was hot tepin, that was in the first year.

I think an 8" pot is too small for a chilli plant and I don't use anything under 12", but this suits me and my conditions.

They can get top heavy... so we use bottomless pots planted into growbags...  :)
