Measure your pumpkins at least weekly.  Gains in circumference can average 
four to six inches in a 24 hour period.  Measure the circumference of your 
pumpkins first parallel to the ground around the entire pumpkin, from 
blossom end to stem.  Next, measure over the top in both directions: from 
ground to ground along the axis from stem to blossom end, then 
perpendicular to the stem-blossom-end axis.  Add these three measurements 
together (inches), then multiply by 1.9 to give an estimate of the 
pumpkin's weight.
