It can be blossom end rot even though it isn’t on the bottom like tomatoes. But most types of rot is caused by a lack of calcium because of inconsistent watering. When you are either over or under-watering…or going from one to the other…that causes stress and your plants aren’t able to absorb and utilize nutrients efficiently. Even if you were adding calcium with your fertilizer regimen…if the plant isn’t being watered properly…the plant can’t use it. Most plants get enough calcium without adding additional supplementation. They’re just unable to use it.

Might need some cal-mag.

It’s rot
Blossom end rot people will say there is not enough calcium in the soil but that isn’t common most likely caused by inconsistent watering
