SQWIBB,
Here is what the folks at Michigan State University had to say about BER when growing tomatoes in a Greenhouse culture which you are basically doing.
This disorder results from withdrawal of water from the fruit by the leaves. It may occur under
any condition resulting in moisture stress; low calcium levels in the root medium are a contributing cause. Maintain adequate calcium in the root medium and avoid excess nitrogen, potassium
and other soluble salts. A foliage spray application of one percent calcium chloride will often give immediately beneficial results. The key word here is STRESS which is a bad thing for tomato growth.
