I am in the middle of my winter to summer lawn reno, switching from PRG to seeded Yukon Bermuda for my Florida lawn. The Bermuda is coming along great, it germinated in around 7 days and more is coming up by the day. But my problem is so are these tufts of something else; Poa Annua? Not sure what it is but they are growing a lot faster than the Bermuda.
I regret not hitting them with Glyphosate two weeks before putting down the seeds but now that they are down I really want to hit these tufts with Glyphosate even though it will kill any nearby seeds.
So, what would you do in my situation? Dribble some Glyphosate directly in the middle of each weed tuft or wait 30-60 days and hit them with Certainty/Celsius? I don't know which would cause more damage to the Bermuda, the Glyphosate or letting these weeds flourish for the next 60-90 days.
If I go the Glyphosate route I will be as careful as possible to only hit the weeds but I know some seedlings will still die in the process.

You can try getting a “lawn liberator” (I know, I cringe at the name too) which allows you to slather individual grass blades with glyphosate. It’s actually pretty quick and easy about keeping the glyphosate on the target only. There are also DIY alternatives if you’re handy and want to save $20.
