Default minimum pot size for chili plants

Hi

my 1st post, maybe of many

i have 50 chilli plants.

various variaties - 7 different types - 8 including my sweet peppers.

now last year i used pretty big pots for each plant, however with so many this year (for jams and chuckneys) i need to know the minimum pot size i can get away with for average sized chilli plants so as not to hold them back too much.

am hoping 3ltr pots will do it, but smaller would be good if poss... i used 6 liter pots last year but i just do not have room for 50 of them!, and the compost would cost a fortune.

thanks for any advice. am wondering if i could use small tomato growbags at a push, maybe 4 plants in each one.

cheers
M.
