my epidendrum orchid as a few new growths that have stopped growing and the tops are black. No water rot has happened and the rest of the cane is healthy

Welcome to the Orchid Board. That can happen from sunburn, and also from insufficient water while making new growth.

It is my two cents that the scarcity of water during growth is the culprit more than most of us may realize. It is very easy to happen when we are trying not to overwater.
