Blossom end rot. Calsium deficiency is the most common cause.

Looks kinda like blossom end rot. Happens because of Calcium defiency. Are the younger leaves on your plant kinda deformed or crumbled by any chance? CalMag or just calcium should do the trick in this case

Definitely blossom end rot. Can be over watering, under watering, an actual calcium deficiency, or nutrient block from using high phosphorus ferts. You can: 1) flush the soil and then add some Cal-Mag 2) Let soil dry a bit 3) adjust watering to when the top 2-3 inches are dry or bottom water if your planting method allows for it (not in ground, raised beds, super heavy, giant planter, etc.)

Blossom end rot. Im fighting it now in my peppers even with a specialized fertilizer to prevent it and proper watering. Im struggling so much lol.

Are you all commenters sure this is blossom end rot? Cause at least one pepper looks healthy at the tip. In my own experience blossom end rot looks way darker (ar least on my tomatoes). I didn’t ever have blossom end rot on paprikas / chilis.
My guess is a sunburn. I had these with my paprikas as well last year.

Hydrated lime add little to soil. Dust plant will help with pests and help rot
