Does anyone know what these spots are? He was healthy and green, then all of a sudden brown spots. Does it have anything to do with flowering because the buds came about the same time.

If you zoom in on the small black spec that is shaped like rice you will see it is a pest called thrips. I would guess it’s the cause of your problems with the plant.
