I have heard that a half of pound of fert per 100 sq. ft, so it depends on the size of your plant. I break my fertilizing up with my chemical ferts so it spreads it out and doesn't give a super big rush to my pumpkin and make it go "bang" and blow up. Also depends on how fast your pumpkin is growing too.
