If your plants get to dry (during rapid growth stages) many varieties will get BER. After you get BER there is little you can do, but correct your watering and wait. When the plants rapid growth stage slows your plants will correct the physiological disorder with the (uptake) of calcium which manifests itself as BER.
A watered container will be very heavy, if it's to dry it will feel much lighter than a watered in one. Grab the edge and lift a few with varying degrees of wetness to get a feel for when they need to be watered. I picked 2-3 tons of tomatoes from containers last year, and only had 4-5 tomatoes with BER, but in past years did learn the hard way.
