Anyone still getting yellow spots? I am getting them around the base of the leaves; they develop as the leaf gets older; they aren't there right away. One of my plants had them earlier in the season, but now the new growth doesn't have them. Another one of my plants has them on almost every leaf, and the plant right next to it hasn't had one spot the entire season. Maybe genetic?

I'm pretty sure they're genetic, or at least not detrimental. Got yellow spots on older leaves of both my plants, but none showing on newer leaves. Not gonna lose sleep or treat them in any special way. Just my 2 cents !

Yep, yellow spots..lots of 'em. They don't seem to be a sx of anything so I quit worrying about it. The newer leaves have less and less as they're emerging.

well, i'll bet my smallest pumpkin this year that's part
of the yellow spots problem...i've had them but have had no trouble from them. i think they're kinda neat.
