The white stuff is powdery mildew. All my squash have it and the squash bugs have arrived. I'm going to pull them up and plant sweet corn.
I make chicken butt juice. I put raw chicken poop in a bucket, enough to cover the bottom, then fill with water. I don't put a lid on it, I let it set over night. I pour some in a gallon watering can, about 3" deep, then fill with water. I walk down the row on my heavy nitrogen feeders and it really made a difference. I do believe you are on the right track! There is red clay/loam all around us (we have sugar sand) so for iron, we get a few buckets of red dirt and I put it around the plants.
