It sounds like the plant is either not getting enough water or not getting enough humidity. Make sure that you are keeping the soil moist and you may need to mist the plant daily. Another possibility, depending on your location, would be cold damage. If you recently had any unexpected frost, this could affect your buds, making them turn brown/black. If the buds were damaged, it is unlikely you will get flowers this year, so pruning back may be necessary.
