issue Sugar Rush Stripey, sanity check, sunscald on pods?

[Harmonic_Heat]

Another newbie question, 3 of my 4 developed SRS pods is exhibiting this issue, waiting on the 4th to start :/ I don't think it's a calcium issue, I'm leaning towards sunscald, they don't feel soft and the affected areas don't feel weak. Could be a calcium issue I suppose as this plant is almost twice as tall as most of my others and has been growing fast the last month. I have some Botanicare CalMag I can use. My fertilizer is their Grow Pro formula, 3-2-4, feeding history:


Feeding history (spot watering in between as needed):
Watered with 1/4 strength nutes at some point (probably around June 8th)
6-13ish: watered with half strength nutes
6-20: watered with full strength nutes
7-8: watered with 1/4 strength nutes (had issues with overwatering at this point and didn't feed or water until near the end of July, see Glog if you're extra curious)
8-2: watered both SRSs with 1/2 strength nutes (my normal feeding strength, pretty much every other plant is happy and looks good save for the other SRS and maybe 2 others that are a little light colored but could be normal)

No sign of this on any other pods on any other plants but these are by far my biggest plants and pods.

Here they are on the 6th, center and right were fine, left was showing an issue.

On the 9th the one on the left had started to shift colors, took pics, noticed the other two now had the same issue (last pic shows the center pod, others are of the pod on the left).


As of yesterday the center and right pods had worsened. I haven't looked at them today.

Wait and see if these scars turn into the standard blossom end rot soft spot. Blossom end rot seems to hit most/all the developing fruits on a plant at the same time which looks to be the case here. I can't think of a pest or other issue that does that, not even sun scald.

I grew 3 SRS last season & they started with the same roten spots. I ruled out BER.
Some pods will drop off as the plants load up with more pods.

My 3 SRS plants ran us out of house & home they really produce a lot.


I had some early pods that looked like BER at first, however it was not.

All three plants had a bumper crop. I would not worry about it.

Lol, I'm in the club
It really seems like a fruit prone to this problem

Thanks danish, I was hoping it was just sun scald but deep down I knew it wasn't lol. Not with the lesions appearing in the folds heh.

Well that's good to hear, in a way lol, I've got company anyways! I'll wait and see and hope it phases itself out. There are a number of new pods that I noticed today and it just keeps getting taller

i gave some SRP pods to my mom a couple years ago and several plants she grew from the seeds had many pods that looked like this. so i can confirm this is an issue that strikes this variety.

what exactly is the issue and how big a deal it is, i do not know. and like stated above, if you still get lots of good pods it's not a problem...
