If growth has slowed due to a lack of potassium then thisd material will help pick growth back up if the fruit isn't too old & mature to grow.

Have you valid reason to suspect a potash deficiency? If so then go for it in moderation.

If you happen to have Agro K's product KDL the potassium is in it at 24% designed for foliar feeding. Using this product for the same bump you are looking for has been their last three week major foliar treatment ever since the program was developed by Agro K under the advisement of Craig and a few other heavy hitters from days gone by. This product is designed for success. It will not attack your biological ballance much if any used as directed. The synthetic fertilizer makers can not truthfully say this.

Chelated Salt of Potassium,sounds a bit synthetic to me.

Adding fertilizer usually causes the opposite to happen, fertilizer usually causes GROWTH. So maybe I am misunderstanding your need. I would just stop fertilizing or go to a weaker fish/seaweed foliar feed. Not sure what you were feeding previously, if it was 20-20-20, this will certainly slow down the vine growth compared to your previous fertilizer, but if you are worried of an explosion, then I would cut ferts to a minimum.
