This is my first overseed with KBG 9/7/25. I used Lawn Life Night Shift KBG. I detached, scarified, over-seeded with light straw covering. I saw germination around day 6. I have irrigation setup which may have steered my results. I watered for 4 minutes starting at 11am, 1:30pm and 4pm. I’ll be putting down fertilizer today. Any tips on when to cut back watering?

I would give it at least another week before I cut back to make sure all the cultivars have germinated since some are in different timelines. Mazama is an early germinating Then you’re going to want to switch to watering the same amount but once a day (so 12 min at 11am or whatever time you decide), then every other day after another week, then once a week.
