Default Tomato brownish ends NOT BLOSSOM END ROT

Hello All,

My tomatoes may be having a problem with something that looks similar to
blossom end rot. On the blossom end, even when the tomato is small, the skin
turns a brownish color, but never rots. The tomato stays firm. I'm not sure
what the tomatoes looks like inside since they're not ripe yet. This has
happened on about 50% of the tomatoes on one plant and one or two on another
plant.

I don't think this is blossom end rot because the tomatoes are still firm
and I shouldn't have calcium problems. (the water I have is FULL of lime) I
fertilize with MiracleGro Tomato Food and water very regularly since the
plants are potted. What could the problem be? Or maybe is this not a
problem, just discoloration?

Thanks, Dan
