some sort of rot?

[Davetaylor]

Never seen this before, they all had the white patches which were soft and starting to rot on all but the one with the big patch, any ideas?

Seconded! It was the first thing that came to my mind, too when I saw the pics! Did you cut them open? Do they look allright on the inside or are there any nasties?
I'm pretty sure AJ is right, though!

 

[Davetaylor]

dunno how they got scaled cos they were all under leaves. Never bothered cutting them open.
No great loss though cos the plants has plenty more pods on it.
I'll in with scalding just strange that no other plant was affected

I had some rot but not turn white like that.... Were they rotten on the vine for a while?

According to this link, http://westernfarmpress.com/mag/farming_blossom_end_rot/ on peppers blossom end rot due to a calcium deficiency can look like sun scald. Says it shows up first on the sides of peppers.

Personally I don't have a clue to the cause, too new at the pepper thing.

Good luck to you Dave.

BER is black and this is white. I'll guess sunscald also.
