that looks like Roundup damage to me, although i cannot tell of any weed-killing from the pics in the diary. perhaps there was a draft up into the hoophouse and those parts of the plant are now under the weather---if so, it should grow out of it and just give it time, probably more-frequent watering, too---otherwise, i dunno. this year i'll be making a 'pseudo greenhouse' out of Floating Row Cover to set-onto the greenhouses that are there to shield them from the ongoing Glyphosate weed-killing---eg

I agree with pumpkinpal2, I had Roundup damage in 2012 and it looked like this. My wife had used some in a small pump sprayer, then I used that same pump sprayer for a fert foliar spray without knowing.

It's unlikely to be a feed problem because your weeds look great. So my money would be on a weedkiller.
Just a word to everyone.
Spend the money and buy a separate sprayer for weedkiller. Trying to clean weedkiller from a spraying device nearly always end in tears.

I've come to the conclusion it's from Roundup, just don't know where from. I use a separate sprayer for Roundup. I have only sprayed seven, from a sprayer I can't see me using Roundup in, it was only a 1 gallon sprayer.

I did use Roundup in a watering can, but that was it. It's not in a hoop house, the plant is too big. I do have one plant in a hoop house still, and it has a little damage also. The plant is still growing, is there anything I can do to help it?

If it's round up it might grow out of it but the part of the plant that Is Yellow will stay yellow, hope it works out for you Jeff

We'll see, it is still growing...a lot slower, but growing. Someone is looking at my soil test to see if anything stands out

I haven't gotten a response yet from who was looking at my soil test, so if it's from Roundup, how far out before I get normal leaves? It's grown about 2' and they are still white

Well i'm not sure on giant pumpkins, how long it will take to get normal leaves again. However, I've gotten roundup on my zucchini plants before and it takes about 2 weeks for normal growth to return.
