Feature 6-0-0 Max Rate You've Used?

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?
I just had 20-20-20 on hand. Not really sure if the PN was better.

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.

Wow that's impressive for just 24 hrs! :thumbup:

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.

@FedDawg555 which cultivar do you prefer?
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.
