New Buds look brown and dry. Am I in trouble?

I am currently in my second week of flower, and all bud sites look "brownish" and dry. They don't look rotten or moldy, just brown..kind of lifeless. Could this be nutrient burn? Light/heat stress? Genetics? And most importantly, can I complete the harvest and hope that the buds eventually will look healthy? If not, should I clip off all of the buds and start over? This is my 10th season and I've never seen anything like it. Thanks in advance for any insight! I really have to stress the fact that I don't think this is bud rot.

Key lime pie clones under Spider Farmer SF4000 LED's. Feeding with triple carbon filtered water. Always pH'd between 6.3-6.5. Happy Frog Soil and currently feeding with Earth Juice SeaBlast Transition. Week 2 of Bloom. Humidity has been sitting around 70% (high for bloom I know, dehumidifier is coming in a few days)

Seems it could be a nitrogen deficiency if you’re into flower and getting that yellow fade. What’s your feed schedule like? Nutes or amending?

I had a run of clones back in the day after running them for about 2 years they give up and died on me I'm not a saying that what is going on I can't see all that well with my phone as always thank you for your time and the best of luck

I'm using nutes. SeaBlast Transition primarily at the moment. As well as additives like Humic Acid, Silica, Micro.

From the pics I can't really see detail.. but have you checked your roots? Are they brown? I'm guessing bud rot.

How much of the seablast are you using? It's 8-32-14. That's pretty high in phosphorus.
I'm trusting the mix bro. 3/4 strength once a week. I have used the stuff before with great results. The whole SeaBlast lineup is legit

They didn't just give up and die because they had been cloned for 2 years. You did something wrong. I have a clone only Green Crack that's been being cloned for almost 30 years. I've only had my cut for a little over 2 years though.

You just gotta clone healthy plants.
