Another possibillity is disease but the plant did not wilt. It was holding up much better than the others during the transition to sunny weather. I think the osmotic pressure between the roots and the pumpkin must have reversed. Low sugar or low potassium in the pumpkin... Or a calcium disruption. Maybe a leaf analysis would help.
I think the fertilizer was the mistake. 20 lb one day and negative five the next. That was not fun.
