In my diary I have posted pictures of leaves that have turned yellow. Some have yellow circular spots. Most leaves have turned a very light green. All females have aborted. Is it too much rain, ferts, or a disease. Any help would be appreciated.

Jeff, Mine looked like that one time on the very end of my plant after I pruned back my secondaries so they wouldnt grow no more. the leaves was to young (yet big in size) when i sprayed it with fish, kelp, Molasess, it went from a dark green in someplaces then faded to a really light green, the burn marks on the outside of that leaf, I just took scissors and trimmed the burnt part off, it never spread after i did that ether, Mine healed ok, Im gonna guess and say u used to much fertilizer, what was the last thing u used in the past week and a half?

I haven't used anything in over three weeks. The plants one day just turned from healthy green to light green to yellow. My whole plant is like this. All fruits I had stopped growing some were 56 circ. and smaller. All other females rotted before they bloomed.Most of my leaves are dead.

Has your soil been water logged for a week or two? If so, this MAY be the cause.

I'm inclined to agree those leaves look hungry. If it has been raining a lot & you're dealing with that Bay Sand thing, I'd get some fertilizer on them.

Just don't get crazy!!!

Thanks for the help guys though I am not sure what the problem is. When my pumpkins were growing I did add some light 20/20/20. They stopped soon after and then the problems occurred. Could it be a disease? I am trying to figure this out before next year comes. Jeff
