Have you been fertilising? What with? Excessive nitrogen can produce that result.
:::: nods in agreement with italophile::::::::::
If they got wet during bright sun it may be scorching. You need to be very careful with watering in sunlight
The necrotic area looks like it rings the fruit, a bit too extensive for scorching.
Thanks for the reply's.
The more likely cause is the nitrogen. I did give it some Phostrogen other day and that does has nitrogen in it. Any ideas on how to counter react the problem?.
The watering issue I don't think was the problem as this was done during the evening, but thanks will bear that in mind. I have been watering it with rainwater too.
Brains2 there is nothing you can do with this crop but I would advise using a more specific feed than phostrogen.... Google chilli focus it is an excellent feed for chillies failing that tomato feed ....... I never use anything else but chilli focus ( when flowers appear and fruiting) and swear by it
There are different Phostrogen products on the market but the all-purpose product's NPK is 14:10:27. The N stands for nitrogen and 14 is a very high figure. Chilli Focus's NPK is much more suitable.
