Lil' Fatty, lol. One of Nature's Wonders!
PS---I think that the once-a-week ferts are on the cautious side. In step with that, you could, could, maybe not should, lol, increase the foliar applications of whatever you wanna use to X 2, maybe on one plant to see the effect, if any. I noticed that the labels for 24-8-16 and 15-30-15 are identical. So, must be no biggie at the usual, low concentration of
1 TbSp/gallon. Okay, movie time! eric g

Looks great, few suggestions since you are newer:

1) get the petals off the pumpkin by gently peeling off (asap)

2) get something under the pumpkin when it lands in a day or

3) make sure to cover the pumpkin 24/7 with a white sheet at a minimum. Lots of people also build shade tents to keep rain off the pumpkin but still allow air flow. It can be as simple as rebar, pvc inserted over rebar and a tarp clipped to pvc.

4) keep pollinating everything that opens and decide later
