I thatched, areated, leveled and reseeded 5 weeks ago. Used Lesco 50/50 (perrenial rye & KBG) No straw or peat moss. It was unusually warm and dry for 5 weeks. It only has rained twice. Kept moist the entire time. I screened the topsoil by hand using 1/4 inch screen. 7 yards.
I've cut it 3 times so far. It came in pretty good but is on the thin side.
The temperatures have returned to normal but still no rain. The dews are heavy. No frost yet.
How often should I water it at this point? When to apply the rest of starter fertilizer? How can I add photos to this post?

Nice what state
Once or twice a week watering. Total should be about 1″-1.5″ per week. KBG especially performs excellently in drought conditions. Have you subsequently fertilized? Reducing water to an appropriate amount, 0.5lb AI N / 1000sf, and consistent mowing at 3.5-4″ will promote the lateral and basal growth you are looking for.
Looks amazing dude.
I might have thought you made something like a tightrope for squirrels in photo 2 for a hot second.
Excellent
Played a nice Jack Nicholas course in Mason.
Yes!
Nice job 🍻
I really think I must have done mine wrong. I’m sitting at four weeks and the very little that’s coming up look like those cursed worm things in the Little Mermaid.
