I have 2 brainstrain pods with soft spots, I'm still deliberating on whether to pluck and cut. I suspect either BER or a bug for mine. I don't have spots like yours, that said yours could just be sun tan spots, or something else not relevant to the soft spot.

I await with interest to see what others thing your problem could be :-)

By the way is it just one pod or do have more like it, and are they confined to the one plant or multiple plants?
 
i water when they start to show they need water. But from every day to 2-4 times a week. I have used some calcium nitrate, maybe i have used total 10 teaspoon on 30 plants this year , but my water has a lot of calcium in it to. Epsom spray (1/4 teaspoon in 0.5 liter and that is used on 30 plants) and then spray the plants every month. Should i use epsom salt in soil to?
