I have a call in to our plant diagnostic lab - until I hear from them
and get a leaf sample tested, can anyone tell me what a potassium
deficiency might look like or any quick (foliar, I presume) way to
address it? I'm thinking of something akin to epsom salts (for
magnesium) that could help if there's a deficiency, yet not hurt in case
my hunch is wrong...

Beth,
I wouldn't do anything drastic until you get your lab test back. Give them
a shot of 20-20-20- which you can find easily to hold you over for a week.
Potassium Nitrate is the chemical of choice for high Potash formulas. One part
20-20-20 and one part KNO3 13-0 44 will give you roughly 16-10-32....not a bad
high K formula.
