I have a pumpkin that has some brown spots on it. Its growth has really slowed the last 3 days. We have had about 3" of rain in the last 5 days. The plant is huge and its kind of weedy. It is about 180 lbs. Any ideas on what this could be?

unless you spilled some spray on the fruit it sounds like your pumpkin has some form of disease going on
you already said the fruit growth has slowed so that in itself tells you there is a problem somewhere in the plant and/or the fruit
you can try spraying the fruit with zero tollerance or a 10 percent solution of bleach and water
