Question of the day: Did I kill my cucumbers with kindness?

After all this rain we've had my yard has been a fungus festival. Madame Leslie hooked me up with the necessary potassium bicarbonate and I sprayed rather, ahem, generously... which brings me to my question.
When I've used it in the past I noticed that the fungusy spots turned black and funky but the new growth was fine. I'm seeing that, but I'm also seeing some bleached-out spots and shriveled edges on some of the plants I sprayed in a fit of hey, maybe they need some too: cucumbers and sunflowers in particular. Too much of a good thing or what?
