the browns visit my bellpeppers

[goingreenhouse]

I tend to get huge brown areas on my bell peppers at around half maturity. the pepper still tastes fine if I cut the brown away. I am in hopes this can be fixed. I would like a whole pepper someday.

Is it mainly on the bottom of the pepper, like this:



gets mushy and rotten?

If this is it, it is called blossom end rot. It's not a disease, it's a response to environmental conditions.

But tell us if you think this is it, before I write more. If not, post a couple pictures of your problem.

the one that has a brown spot looks to be what you said. I will watch a little longer to see if the others develop the same. thank you so far.

Sometimes soft spots can be caused by sunburn especially if the pepper does not have enough leaf cover. Shading will help that.

I have not had this issue in the past but one thing I read was a lack of Calcium can cause BER on tomatoes. I use an organic fertilizer on all of my fruiting crops once a week. There are plenty of products that should help build the calcium for your plants.

Can you take pictures of the plants?

I just posted this morning a video of my pepper experiment. it is below in my signature. Ill post a video next week on maintaining my tomatoes and the fertilizer I plan to prevent BER. just shot it tonight.
