Run it to the end, it won’t bother the flowers.

This looks like bud rot not seporia. If you can pull a sugar leaf (straight) out of the bud you’re in trouble. When you tease the buds apart what do you see (up against the stem)?

Septoria normally starts at the bottom and works its way up the plant, and the colas would be the last to be effected.

That doesn't look like septoria. The buds look fine so not likely to be bud rot. It does seem to be feeding on nutrient stores extensively. I'd recommend that you worry less about what the calendar says and listen to what your plant is telling you. As plants reach senescence, they stop feeding storage leaves. Any mobile nutrients will be reallocated to support reproduction, which can make leaves look pretty gnarly. Feeding it something its not really interested in won't solve anything and can actually be detrimental. This girl is telling you she's done. You are likely about at the point of diminishing returns, it seems.
