Pepper fruit rotting

GrowingCoastal · September 6, 2019

Asking for a friend who grows lots of peppers in pots and usually has no problems. This year she is having a repeat issue with her bell types which are rotting before ripening. We have looked at images online and they only show BER problems. She says hers do not look like that. The fruits start turning brown on a spot on the surface (side) (not sunscald) and then later are found to be full of water and mushy, rotten.

Friend wonders if perhaps she is watering too much? Nothing came up in a search for that.
