Hi Most of my capsicum (not sure which variety I bought sorry) have started to get some darker colouring. I'm a bit worried it's a nutrient deficiency, although I do dose with seasol. Might also be could related with the low overnight temps in Canberra Autumn. Would appreciate any thoughts! Thanks

If it's dark on the bottom it would be blossom end rot |

Perhaps it is a dark variety? There is a large range of capsicum colours around. When you say "dark" do you mean black, or just dark red or green? |

Thanks for suggestions so far. Still having trouble with embedding picture but it's here... https://www.dropbox.com/s/pf6hr1f56thvklu/cap.jpg As you'll see, the darker colour is running up the capsicum. It's happening on most of them. |

It could be the variety of capsicum. It's normal for capsicums to change colour when they mature. You could have a chocolate capsicum there. Is it all of them changing colour, or just the more mature ones? |

Nothing wrong with that as far as I am concerned, the dark is normal and just the fruit ripening. |

Is it all of them changing colour, or just the more mature ones? It's happening to ones smaller than that but isn't on the really small ones / newly fruited. It's my first time growing capsicum so was expecting any colour change to happen gradually but equally across all skin rather than only part of it. Glad it didn't look worrisome! Thanks for the help with pics too. I think I know what I'm doing wrong now! |

Capsicums can range in colour. Some of them go green, black, red - green, black, purple - green, brown red - green, orange etc Check out Italian capsicums - they are fun to grow - more of a thin wall and longer looking like a chilli. And if you like Chilli then check out 'Rocoto' |

Ahh, good to know. I see that black on the top of mine too. Do they stay green or do they change to orange then red. I have some that now look a bit like a large yellow chilli. All out of the same punnet. |

Depends on the variety- my red caps start as green, which darkens to very dark before they turn red. |
