can anyone help me with these pumpkins? have you ever seen this? all i can find is info about powdery mildew and i'm pretty sure this isnt mildew. they're just albino leaves. i already treated once with milk and once with aact just in case, and i know there's nitrogen in that soil. also all my other melons are fine..thanks everyone!



this pic is about a week old, they're twice as big now, but still white/pale.

It is just the way that it looks. Some winter squash have very different looks than others. All is well.

It doesn't look too bad...I would just let it grow and see how it goes...I have some pumpkins going that my 4 year old planted in a puddle last year that came up this year and I moved to a spot in the garden, which I now know was a mistake..the thing is overgrowing everything else around it...
With my watermelon vines I can just pinch the little ends off the vine and it stops growing out that feeler, but the pumpkins are sharp man...

pumpkins do not like to have water hit their leaves or fruit, ditto many other squash type plants. i always water that way anyway, too much work to water without hitting the leaves.
