OT- Why are my peppers doing this??

tenpenny_05

All, I've had peppers growing like crazy this year, but they all develop these brown spots before they even get close to ripe. It's not rotten, just brown and the rest seems to be ok. I've tried watering less, tried watering more, more sun, less sun.... nothing has worked. Any pearls of wisdom on growing bell peppers you can actually eat??

I have never had success growing peppers, same problem. Curious to see some insight here.

Have you tried cutting them open and seeing if they have Pepper Maggots inside? I had a pimento pepper that had a big brown worm contentedly munching away from the inside.

No worms...

Are those naturally red bell peppers?

Could be blossom end rot

Yes naturally red. I've heard of blossom end rot, but never any ideas on how to stop it.

No idea, but I'm out here on my patio and thought it was pretty cool how our succulents were growing towards the sun.

Could it be sun scald?

Check this out. Could also be lack of nutrients like calcium.

 They are lacking a nutrient.  I had something similar once and used lime.  It solved it.

Looks like a squirrel to me. They have done that to all my peppers and tomatoes this year-
especially the peppers. They only nibble the outside and leave it as soon as it gets hot (all the capsaicin is in the white membrane inside ).

It almost looks like something is eating them but just a guess
