Pie pumpkins: When to lower Nitrogen, increase P & K

So these little girls started popping up a few days ago. Is this the first sign I should change my 16-16-16 fertilization, or should I wait until they actually start to look like flowers? What would you recommend? Plants are 5- weeks old (I love sunny CA).

Just out of curiosity, are those female flowers on time, early, or late? First time gardening.
