pollinating and terminating

I was wondering how long before you know if a pollination is successful.  I have 
pollinated two on my main, the first aborted (closest to stump).  The second one 
(next on the vine from the aborted one) is slightly larger than a baseball.  
There is a third one after that which was open pollination.  I am keeping the 
main going since I was told that pumpkins growing on the main are better than 
secondaries.  I did pollinate one on the first secondary off the main.  When 
should I start terminating the main and secondaries?  I've been letting 
everything keep growing in case something goes wrong.
