I suspect you are right about the watering problem. My containers are pretty big home made planters, probably 20-25 gallons. But the one that struggled with BER for a month did wind up with a renegade hot pepper in the pot. I let it go- and i should have pulled it out.
Things have evening out right now and a handful of nice looking fruit is trickling in.
