Sorry, but it's 100% a pumpkin. When the flowers open up in a few days compare them to pictures of male flowers of pumpkins versus watermelons.
It's counter-intuitive but starting them 6 weeks early actually delays how fast cucurbits develop in the field. The larger the cucurbits plant is, the more severely they are affected by transplant shock. I don't know where you got your recommendation from, but it's incorrect.
The fact that our growing window is not even 90 days so it’s the only way to grow any gourds and stuff like that.
They could be cantaloupes… but only one of those started.
