I have never seen a ghost pepper look like that before. I would say either the guy truly dont know its a ghost pepper, or he's trying to pull whool over somebodys eyes.

$65?????? Wow, that is insane.
 
And those are definitely not bhut jolokia, looks like red hab.

 

[newpeppergrower1105]

the guy says its 2 years old and i belive he dosent know there not ghost i think some one scamed him. 
i dont know if to call him out on it because hes also selling live plants and he has alot

Tell him, you will trade him for his $65 'ghost' pepper.
 
Offer him this >>>>>>

Doesn`t look right. Maybe a Bhut cross? The largest green pepper in the 2nd pic looks kinda sorta Bhut-y, but I`d say it isn`t true Bhut.
 
$65 sounds s little high, even for a 2-year old plant. Walk away......

i might buy a baby plant from him and grow it out just to see how hot it is compared to my bhuts. he is also selling various baby and teen plants and flaunts his pepper pics which lead me to belive he thinks they are ghost peppers

Even if he unknowingly misbelieved that he had a ghost plant, why would he charge $65? Totally seems like an all-around scammist to me.

Maybe he got them from that goofy guy who grows his plants in paint cans etc.
Sells them on a video.
Looks like the same pods too me.

Please don't buy. You will find a better deal. most likely from someone on here.
 
I just got a huge plant for $10.
 
Don't do it.

 

[Terravexti]

That's......not a good deal.

 

[compmodder26]

As was said previously.  Even if it where a true Bhut, $65 is an outrageous price to pay for it.  Definitely a scam regardless of the plant genetics.

im going to buy a small plant for 5 dollars 

Carribean reds...pretty pods.....

same thing i was thinking it does look like carribean red 

 

[PepperDaddler]

Five does not sound bad for a small plant.

 

[The Hot Pepper]

Very silly to buy a $5 plant when you know it's from the same seeds as the one you know is not a ghost pepper!
 
The person is probably misinformed. Maybe he could use a friendly tip.

 

[PepperDaddler]

I was thinking it was a kind of different plant. I see now.
