Thanks for everyone's comments yesterday on the leaf issues. I'm now thinking it isn't bacterial wilt because I didn't get the strings when pulling the leaf apart. Below is an address to a picture of one of the leaves. All my plants have this so right now I'm just hoping to keep the pumpkings growing as long as I can. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. This isn't leaf burn. Only fertilizers I've given the plant in the last month is Neptune's Fish & Seaweed, seaweed and CO2 and the doses were very small on each. Whatever this is seems to be fungal.

Thanks to Matt DeBacco for his time and help on a diagnosis. Looks like what the plants have is Angular Leaf Spot.

First I had to look up what curative meant and then I found the answer. Lol

From the Doc: "Kocide is a good product but Phyton 27 is probably the 'best' copper product out there. Be carful the coppers can be harsh, I have Kocide and only use it if necessary since coppers do not get along with other fungicides that I like to use."

I ordered some Phyton 27 because I had heard some good things about it from a couple of people. It should be arriving tomorrow.
