With the weather being what it is and with sunshine coming that pumpkin could take on some good growth quickly, keep er going

My buddy Larry grew one 387 lbs that was pollinated on August 1st.

You could still get one well over 500 lbs if weather conditions are your plant holds up.

Good luck with it.

Slow and Steady wins the race.

Donkin at this point slow and steady gets me a 350lbs pumpkin which wins last place. I'm still looking to the star's not first place anymore just a 1000lbs. If I get the weather I think I can do it. For I have a lot of speed tricks. I may blow her up but I'm still going for it.

Too much chemical will shut her down.

3" a day for the next 30 days isn't alot to ask. 90"+current 40 puts you at 130"circ. add another 10" for late season growth and you're looking at 6-700lbs. I don't think you can ask for much more that that...seeing as you "KILLED YOUR KEEPER";)
