Thinking ahead to 4 of July and want that absolute blow you mind green for the weekend. So the label is 2 oz per 1000 which is pretty good. Was wondering has anyone pushed that rate a little more as a one time app and was blown away? If so what's the max rate you've used without getting to the black lawn look? Or I've got a bag of Carbon X and could go nuclear plus the feature at label rate. Curios what's your cocktail?
What was the consensus on the feature 6-0-0 and potassium nitrate mix? It appears the conversation switched to using 20-20-20, and then no other mention of the potassium nitrate suggested early on in the thread. Does one give different results than the other?

Well at least I got my application done by 830 am. The bottom just fell out at 2pm.....I really wanted a good Foliar absorbing in today. It's watered in now.

Same thing happened to me today. I my in my backyard though. I was going to spray the front yard before sunset that no longer looks like it's going to happen.
Here's 24 hours comparison: thanks @Greendoc for the recipe I'm impressed after 24 hours. I'm more impressed because I was already green and it pushed it to the next level. 48 hours I'll post another update, I'll be really impressed if it gets even darker.
I added 3 oz/k Main Event and 3 oz/k 20-20-20 to my PGR app this morning. I went light as I'm going to throw down my monthly granular fert app mid week and it also contains some iron.
Maybe mid next week I'll go all-in like you if I don't have the deep green that I'm looking for.

Yeah it's been fun playing with this mixture. I will say mixing the Jacks and Feature in hot water is a must for theses quantities to get a complete Dissolved mix. Sprayed it with the red XR tee jets no problem.
So here is 48 hours later pic on right. Pic on left is at 24 hours. Definitely darker at the 48 hour mark.
On a side note you can definitely see the Tiftuf vs the 419 on the hill shot and the cultivar split clear as day.
Tiftuf by a mile. That hill get lots of shade in afternoon so I went with it there. If I could go back a year I would have don't Tiftuf everywhere.
Tiftuf greened up a month earlier than 419
Holds color better than 419 Even in drought conditions like last summer and shows stress less.
Requires way less water and the roots just seem to dive deeper too. I like the dense blades better. Personally it's tough SOB cultivar imo.
419 is not the best Bermuda for a home lawn for many reasons. It was meant for open areas with no buildings, trees, and a staff capable of attending to its agronomic needs.

Availability and price. In Hawaii, one variety of Zoysia is installed by builders, landscapers etc even though it is nematode susceptible, does not do well in shade, cool weather, or rain. Availability and price.
