Pumpkins / squashes, no.s fruit & blossom end rot......

I was wondering at what stage you knew if your BNs / Pumpkins were free from Blossom end rot.

I have a pumpkin plant with one pumpkin about 10" across (so I guess that is safe) and a couple about 3 inches. Should I cut of any more that come (as I was going to limit to 3 on the plant) or are the smaller ones still succeptible to dropping off?

Same with BNS. I have one plant that has 5 fruits? from about 2 1/2" to 3 1/2", are these safe now or could they still suffer blossom end rot?

mine seem ok, it was only the first couple of blossoms that went manky and fell off!

i have many close together but decided to leave them for now!
