I am starting to see some orange color from this pumpkin. Sadly this plant on the older leaves is not taking the hail damage stress very well and they are pre-aging at a rapid rate. Many are turning brown and getting crispy which seem to be starting at the area where the hole from the hail damage originated. Pumpkin is still slowly growing though so there is still some water and nutrient movement.
