prairie du sac wi

I have a large plant thats first couple of secondairy vines
started to look as if they were storing to much npk ,so I stoped fertilizing for now but I dont whant to stop for to long.I'm wondering if the leaves will recover once the npk level is right or will they stay the whay they are even once the plant needs more juice.It seems to me that the plant is ready for more food exept for them couple of vines.
what do u think??????????

Garden State Pumpkins

Not the big farmer but it's usually the nitrogen that's blowing up the leaves making them looked bloated. Nitrogen will leach through the soil rather quickly. Not that the condition can't be caused other problems but water only for a while and see if the leaves start to look better. Have you set any pumpkins on this plant?
