First things first. This is my first year growing my own garden. I helped a lot as a kid and grew out of it as I grew older. Now I've got some great tomatoes turning out as well as Jalapeño peppers and Ghost Peppers. Great watermelon and Cantaloupe. My problem is I also have some sweet banana peppers and bell pepper that are becoming like brown and hard. Not like End rot though. They still grow larger with this, but I've never seen it and know it isn't normal. I'd just like more information on it and how to potentially fix it or prevent it in the future. Also they aren't light like dried out,and they still feel solid. We did take good veggies off these plants and then all of a sudden they look like this... (view attached photos of Red bell peppers while still green). Please ask any questions necessary to get me some answer to this.

The leaves in that second pic look a bit dry. Other than that I dunno.

The leaves are such a dark green color too which could mean not enough light. If both are true, you see the result in your peppers.
How can a pepper mature properly without enough water??
