I've had the skid mark problem in the past. Picking them earlier seemed to get rid of that problem. Summers - I've been growing them inside in a controlled environment for the last two summers and encountered the same problem - you've just got to pull those suckers off when they're ready.
Hey Im growing banana peppers and they started getting the "skid marks" on them.so i decided to leave a few on the plant,call me crazy but the marks seem to be going away and the peppers are getting huge.
It has nothing to do with their being ripe or overripe, etc. It's not abnormal and there's nothing wrong with the pepper. The black streaks may fade as the pepper ripens.
Enjoy!
