Biomin manganese... use enough that your leaf veins glow like they are radioactive. Just kidding, I guess just follow the label recommendation... as for potassium I'd use kelp or wood ash. There's that potassium silicate stuff that I havent used (and I dont know the dose) but it might confer some durability/resistance to the older leaves. There may be other potassium products that confer some powdery mildew resistance which would be nice this time of year. Potassium bicarbonate... Two birds with one stone. I havent used it either but it seems like that would be the way to go... in this damp, dreary weather.
