Last year a few folks mentioned that they had an occasional problem with
Blossom end rot. In my quest to increase my soil savy I found an interesting
article at:

Click on Physiological Problems.

In essence it say's that overfertilizing, esp with ammonium ion can depress
the calcium up intake.

My thoughts are, ammonium nitrate aka nitrogen.

You go out a feed your chiles, from the time you add fertilizer until the
excess has been absorbed or washed away, the calcium is being depressed. The
pods in the stage of growth that need calcium the most, become affected.

Excess goes away and the next pods develop normaly.

One way of looking at it.
