I live outside Edmonton Alberta. I had my soil tested and the PH is at 7.9. Our tap water for this region is pretty hard and is at 10.2…. so watering the lawn just adds to the alkalinity of the lawn. I used to be able to keep my lawn as green as yours by watering every 2nd day and throwing down high nitrogen, quick-release fertilizers monthly. The problem was that as soon as I stopped applying the fertilizer, my lawn would die. At the beginning of this year however… I concentrated on bringing down my soils PH using the food-grade citric acid (same brand you used) and elemental sulphur (applied once in the spring and again in late summer around August). I will test next spring to see if it helped. My soil sample also came back low in Nitrogen and Phosphorus. So I added those 2 fertilizers monthly but used both a slow release nitrogen and a quick release nitrogen fertilizer. I also applied Humic DG monthly. My lawn is not only green now, it has thickened and it grows consistent in height whereas before, certain areas grew faster than others. The biggest difference though…. I only water maybe once a week as opposed to every second day! I’m excited to see what next springs soil sample comes back with! Ideally, I would love a 6.5 PH for my soil but if I can get it down to 7 over the next 3 years, I’ll be a happy guy! I also have a water filtration/softener system in my basement. I just need to get it all hooked up!

Same issue in AZ. The higher pH leads to slow damage recovery because of the reduced uptake. Pretty much left with foliar applications to ensure proper uptake.

You ever tried a PGR? I just bought some T Nex and made my first app 5 days ago. Probably looking at re-applying every 12-14 days here in central Texas during the hottest part of the summer. I applied my first app at full strength for my Tifway 419 (.38 oz.) and never had any yellowing. I did apply some FeAture at the same time, so that may have helped.

Hey, TPack. Absolutely. It's something in my program. I also use T-Nex, although I have been curious to.try a two other PGRs that offer some different things. Once the heat really gets going around here, you're gonna find that you'll need to reapply every 10 to 11 days. (If you follow GDD's.) I see people being a little loose with their subsequent apps. It's so easy to punch your app info into a GDD calculator and get an ACTUAL reapplication day. As for the bronzing, it happens sometimes, and sometimes it doesn't. The general rule is to always apply some N (and some foliar iron) with your PGR to reduce the chance it'll bronze. But it's still happens sometimes, and when it does, it typically only happens in the first 1 or 2 apps.

Do you immediately water the lawn after the citric acid application or can it wait until the next day or two?
@thelawnrenaissance 2 ай бұрын
Hey @roar. In short, yes. It's best to water in as soon as reasonably possible after application. Doesn't need to be super immediate, but it citric acid can cause tip burn. It also depends on how heavy-handed you were. If it wasn't much, then you can probably wait a bit longer. But I'd definitely recommend watering the same.day you apply. Thanks so much for watching.

In central Texas as well. Had to re scalp again yesterday as I’m trying to mainting just under .5” hoc but had not been able to get out there with all this rain. Therefore grass grew out of control. Hoping we get some warm weather so that I get a little growth and can start applying pgr to keep my mows at 2-3 per week

Great looking lawn...and no fertilizer app this season? Wow! I'm planning on applying preventative fungicide this coming week, what with all the rain we've been getting and elevated temps and humidity. I am going to apply Scotts DiseaseEx (bought it on sale) and spraying Propiconazole (using TeeJet AIXR110004 tip as suggested) on my Tifway 419. Dealt with some Dollar Spot and possibly brown patch last season. Was thinking of getting Cleary's 3336F fungicide and go totally liquid (no more DiseaseEx) for better coverage...do you think 3336F is better than Azoxystrobin to pair with Propiconazole for what I have to deal with?
@thelawnrenaissance 3 ай бұрын
Thanks so much for watching! You're fine using the azoxystrobin with the propiconazole, because the azoxy is a Group 11 fungicide while the prop is a Group 3. And actually, there is a fungicide that is both azoxy and prop. It's called Strobe Pro. I've never used it and have never read the label. But that may be an option.
@melmagsino5350 3 ай бұрын
@@thelawnrenaissance thanks...looked up Strobe Pro and it's a lot like Syngenta's Headway G...and when I checked out Strobe Pro, the more affordable one comes in granular form while the liquid can be quite expensive and not readily available in the usual online stores I get my stuff from.

Great video, what sprayer tip did you use? And did you water in right away or next day?
@thelawnrenaissance 3 ай бұрын
I generally use the TeeJet AIXR11004. It's usually breezy around here, so the bigger droplets from the air induction helps mitigate drift. And no, I did not water my application in. My main target is dollar spot, and since it's a foliar disease I want the droplets to land AND STAY on the leaf. So I let it dry for at least a day. If I was targeting a systemic fungus, then I'd water it in to get it down closer to the roots. Thanks so much for watching.

I feel like I just had a math/conversion class for Herbicides. LOL. I do the same thing when I am mixing mine sometimes. More isn`t always better. MSM Turf is a real small amount per K. I have the same grass clippings on top of my grass that wash into my lawn from my neighbors all the time🤬. Your green up looks a lot like mine. I pulled the trigger on my first fertilizer application yesterday since it`s going to rain today. .55 lbs. of N per K (ammonium sulphate). Everything greened up really early this year, but it still isn`t growing very much. I`m ahead of you on the flower beds. I took out all the old mulch and put down 49 bags of dark brown from Lowes. It`s on sale for 2.50 until 3-29-24. Thanks, and keep up the good work.

For many years I had subscribed and followed several professional (really certified) turf managers online however I had not seen a more detailed, easier, simplified breakdown to follow beginners or intermediate level lawn care enthusiasts. Like the research, the way that you explain that on the long term as you are dominating weeds, the idea is to lower the doses (great for soil). 5 years ago I learned the math the longer way but here you lay it down in a great way for beginners. From now on, respectfully in my book I will calm you the “The Lawn Renaissance Professor” the way you share is awesome! Greetings from central Texas.
