Some start of real fast others wait until later. Normally by day 50 they are really showing what color they are going to be. In 2003 I had a pure white one turn 75% green.

I have one at about day 30 on the 750 Wentzell its a 940 Wentzell x 810 Dill,the 940 produced a very nice orange pumpkin for me last year.The pumpkin Im growing is still kinda light yellowish white and Im not sure if it will turn orange like I wanted it too.I dont think i will get a nice orange pumpkin now at this stage in growth.
