A little misting of the leaves/soil would perk it up by increasing the humidity. Did u get test results? Looks great but nitrogen might be maxed out now. Not sure if you want to follow my thinking any farther but perhaps now you can switch to some other form of sulfer to avoid an excess of nitrogen? A ph down product that containing sulfer, perhaps, but I really dont know! It's all a big opportunity to learn. If I may speak for myself and others we may not always have the answers but we do understand your desire to grow a big pumpkin.

What seed is this Henry? My 2154 Sperry is a burner so I've set up 30 foot runs of shade cloth over all the new growth and now she couldn't be happier! The angle of the sun here in Southern California can hammer your plants if it's a warm day, even here on the coast.

Getting test results today hopefully! I definitely agree that my nitrogen is pretty maxed out now. In fact. I had a leaf near the tip burn a bit yesterday. It was super dark so the nitrogen is definitely kicking in! I definitely agree with your thinking there to avoid excessive nitrogen. Will keep an eye on the plant closely and see what I can get or look into! Ketchup I really think you nailed the ammonium sulfate. The difference in two weeks now is crazy
