DC Poblano not ripening

Hi all. Haven't been around much this summer. Lots going on here at home.

I've still been growing and harvesting but am now having an issue I need help with.

Have a poblano plant that is doing great.

I'm using them fresh and have roasted a bunch but want some to ripen so I can dry into Anchos. They won't ripen! The temps here are great. 75 - 80 during the day. 65 at night, low humidity (finally!). They are rotting on the plant.

Thoughts and ideas?
 
I have a similar situation here in SC. I have had a few pods turn red, but have had more that rotted. Not enough ripe ones to make nachos. I was thinking maybe it's the environment like high humidity but you say your humidity is low. Hmmm!
