Damn looks like you're in prime time already! I love the color on that hillside. I would be tempted to leave it taller with how dark it is.
It really looks darker when it's tall compared to my low cut prime. But I'll soon go back to lower cut after I apply ethofumesate since I can't spray TNex before etho.

Mow at 1.875 inch and then edge
Cleary@2oz/M,
Ethofumesate@0.25oz/M,
RGS@3oz/M,
FEature@2oz/M
Bioadvanced Season Long Weed Control (Isoxaben)









I haven't been up to date with my fungicide, plus I cut the grass a notch lower. Grass is showing some yellow blades.

How's the lawn doing? Did you get it down to 1.125"?
Not yet, still recovering at 1.5. But with the upcoming weather it should be fine, I hope. This is not the latest, it's few days ago but it's not far from that today. I think the Ethofumesate + lowering the height hit my lawn too much. Now I just try to mow every 2 days and keep up on fungicide and spoonfeeding.





 
#188 ·
Finally brought the height down to 1.125. I've been mowing 1.5inch for the last 3 weeks. Will keep this height until the end of the season.

Still seeing some Poa Annua but not that much. I probably applied prodiamine too early in August. I'm already in the limit so I can't apply more. Next option is to do a second round of ethofumesate but if I do that, I can't apply TNex. So I have to choose if I will apply ethofumesate or apply TNex then pull the Poa by hand. I'll probably go for the latter. Any suggestions??

That hillside in the front always looks awesome!

I think I went a little over the prodiamine annual max and didn't notice any damage. If you really want more pre-m and can't do another round of prodiamine, you could rotate with dithiopyr. But that is better to use in the spring since it can have post-m effect on young crab. I can't really justify the expense for myself so I just stick with prodiamine all year.

Why start T Nex now? Won't growth be slowing down soon on its own?

Thanks @bf7, that's a good point about TNex. If I don't spray TNex I can use ethofumesate and that's a pre-m itself and post em for poa. I'll probably do that instead. Thanks!

Sounds good. I forgot etho had pre-m properties!
Etho needs at least 8 weeks before I can apply it after TNex. I applied TNex in 9/11 and I'm two weeks away from the 8th week. I'll probably apply it next week so that it will have few more weeks to recover. Really want to get rid of those Poa.

Haven't given too much attention to the lawn lately. HOC is back at 2.5". So far it looks good but I'm getting a bit of poa annua in some areas. Sprinkler was shut down last week. Since it's going to rain tomorrow, I took the opportunity to do some apps.

Ethofumestae @0.25oz/M
Propi@1oz/M
RGS@3oz/M
