My fruit stopped growing at about 300 lbs. Should I leave it on the vine to see if it will orange up some more or go ahead and harvest it to try and store it. I'm beginning to see powdery mildew and signs of svb's, but the plant is relatively sound. Thanks

I have very limited knowledge, but imho it will store better on the vine. I would keep it there as long as you can, unless the vine it is on rots or something. Unless you have a refrigerated room to store it in haha

Agreed with Jake. I'd try leaving on vine as long as possible. It would be really hard to store it now till weighoff or display on Halloween. But, if it truly stopped growing and aborted it might rot regardless.
