My pumpkins are still growing, I have a Ford 1248 that just passed the 200# mark. I am pretty excited because I am already 100# over my last years record. Should I continue to fertilize or is it too late in the season to worry about it? I also have, I believe, that white moss all over some of the vines and they are starting to perish. These are jack o lantern pumpkins and 90% of them are already orange. Should I spray fungicide now or save my money and wait for next year? Thanks for everyone input.

I have had decent luck in September using Schultz or Miracle Grow Tomato food. High K for the fruit, plus it has decent N & P to keep the plant healthy. If the jack-o-lantern vines are looking that bad, I would consider picking and storing them, and pulling vines, remove them from patch and burn them.
