August 30th?

on a average giant pumpkin id say 90 days from pollination to complete stoppage
actually though your fruit stops growing when its cycled itself out or your plant gets diseased ------- which ever comes first.

Jeremy,
Don't know if it's been said here, but the PM currently on your leaves will not go away after you spray, but the PM will not spread as much. Unless something else happens your pumpkin should continue to grow. In this climate, September is usually a slower growth month than July & August.
