Unreal! Blackout 2.0 will be my future overseed project . I want that dark color, love it!

Agree 100%

[@robturner7853]

It is!! I was thinking , Darker than the Green in your Pocket!!! So use the Card!!!!

It's even crazier to see if person. Video doesn't do it justice. I'm kind of shocked to be honest

Subscribed to the mailing list. Looking forward to finding out more about this seed next year. Thank you for the thorough walkthrough of each yard, Jesse. Lawn Life and Lawn Life Vlogs are my top favorite lawn channels. Keep making great content! -Ken

I think my 'last mow' was today (chopping/picking up leaves, then striped)... all I can say is that the Blackout PRG1 is pretty remarkable. We have had just about zero rain here in NJ for October- my lawn has done its best to stay as darkish green as it could, while everyone else's lawns immediately went dormant about a week into the drought. The only yellowing/gold might just be the Stovers KBG that I mixed the Blackout into. I have some areas to touch up next spring because of early day sun patterns, and lack of rain... but the stuff is really really good! It's been keeping itself 'well' strictly from the morning condensation, while dealing with a few frost events. Didn't bother watering mainly cause growth was slowed down and our town does shame residents for outdoor water use during drought periods. Great stuff and can highly recommend!

[@tonyhicks444]

I did my overseed with Black out Kentucky bluegrass & Rye. I live in Michigan and it's still dark green Great seed!

[@MrPESensation]

Thank you for the video Jesse. Because of YOU :( I keep getting random people asking me IF I can do their LAWN LOL :) My Blackout seed is starting to POP and I cant wait til it fully grows in. Great Lawns for LIFE...

I have 6 large trees around my property. I bag while mowing and then dump the clippings on the main lawn in a small pile. Once i'm done mowing, i set the mower to mulch and go over the clippings multiple times so the pieces are like 1/4 of an inch. I then set the mower on bag and vacuum the clippings into the bag. I use the mulch around my evergreen trees. Amazing fertilizer for the evergreens plus extra organic soil which I use on the lawn.

[@lawnlifevlogs]

Does not sound like a bad process at all!

[@robertlark10]

@@malisha1 do a similar process, but bag and then dump into a trash can where I use my weed eater like a blender! Works like a charm!

@@robertlark10 I see grass clippings and leaves as a product. If u throw it out from ur property the energy used to produce this product is wasted.

I use my Worx leaf mulcher bucket thingy. Blow all my leaves into a big pile and shovel (snow shovel) leaves into the bucket with a bag sitting under it and it works wonders. Mulches like 20 bags worth into 8!

Wow! That is so dark green! I am getting for my overseeding next year

[@Arjayski]

Hoping this is available next spring. This would be my seed for overseeding on top of hatrick and fireball.

[@lawnlifevlogs]

It will be available for pre-sale next spring. Wont ship until late August/Early Sept I believe. Have to wait for harvest

Jay’s yard looks great, imagine what it would like if you started a few weeks earlier. He owes you a few beers lol. The Blackout 2 looks insane. Eager to plan for the 2025 overseed project. Will Blackout 2 also come in TTTF? I have seen a few people using Blackout on my local LCN page on FB. Keep spreading the word. The results are truly awesome.

[@lawnlifevlogs]

He already brought me over some beer lol. There is a new TTTF coming as well that I've kinda been keeping under wraps until next year. It is definitely super dark. I appreciate the support Nelson!

That looks so dark for being so young. If I didn't have kids I would want to do a full renovation vs. an overseed! I have some ideas for the leaves I can share with you. I'll shoot you an email and see if it helps at all! Thanks for another awesome video!

Haha. I'll be sure to announce it on my channels man. The weather here has sucked lucked it's either low 50s or mid 80s. The grass doesn't know what to do lol

[@woTrainingWheelz]

This release going to include hatrick or another cultivar? Chance we can get pure fireball 2.0 seed?

[@HomegrownHowTo]

So… you’re telling me I thought I just seeded the darkest with the blackout, now there’s a 2.0? Next time… 😂

[@joefigueroa6059]

Is it only cool weather Grass I live in San Antonio Texas and it pretty much gets pretty hot right now. I have fireball and Hattrick growing in my yard right now since it’s starting to get a little cool.

[@GLDFNGR]

The blackout and blackout 2.0 looks incredible. I live in the transition zone and currently have Bermuda in the front and nothing in the back. Would I be able to use either of the Blackout grasses to seed our back? Thanks.

[@rogueonevo]

I did 😂!!! I'm in SC and my backyard is Blackout Rye and KBG....flourishing right now too!! PS: proper irrigation is a must in transition zone if you tryna grow rye or KBG....

[@GLDFNGR]

@@rogueonevo awesome! Would I be able to seed in the spring?

[@lawnlifevlogs]

I'm glad it worked for you, but i'd suggest the TTTF for most people lol

[@lawnlifevlogs]

I would go with the blackout TTTF for transition zone. You're gonna be battling heat non-stop with either bluegrass or rye.

[@rogueonevo]

@GLDFNGR yes but certain factors are ideal for success ..as my man above said, TTTF would be better in transition.... what helped my situation through the summer heat was shade from trees in my backyard and irrigation..... the rye and kbg will struggle in transition zone heat without completely ideal circumstances (shade, good soil, water (KBG needs ALOT in summer), thick turf, absolutely NO herbicides after April).... it takes alot to grow and maintain those two grasses in 90 degree heat....I know spring is possible with this grass in transition because I've done it, but I only do fall overseeds now because it's still best to do it in fall .... will save you headaches later...

[@monkeyslawncareandgardenin473]

It is dark, but it didn’t score well for disease. No way it will work in a humid area. But the fescue is looking good! What’s the cultivars?

[@lawnlifevlogs]

We have very humid weather here and I didn't use one fungicide all year. Had a tiny bit of red thread that didn't cause any issues. All was fine. The TTTF has 4 different cultivars from the McCarthy farm that's known for their dark color. Weren't put into the nteps

[@myk5486]

I have a ton of Shade in my yard, maybe 3 to 4 hours max sunlight. Always assumed could only do Tall Fescue because of it. But I see you have Rye in shaded areas, can the blackout Rye handle a lot shade?

[@lawnlifevlogs]

Yes blackout prg does surprisingly very well in the shade. Way better than my top rated kbg

[@farquadshmoogle9120]

@lawnlife, thought you had a rotary? The one that can go low, that you were using on your front yard?

[@lawnlifevlogs]

I meant I wanted a rotary without the drum on the back to be less invasive. The mower I used is a rotary technically

[@scottduty4885]

I have a slope down to a swale in my backyard. In the spring, would you over seed with blackout TTTF or the BG/RG mix?

Personally I would not. I would just use the kbg/rg blend we have.

Question is the perennial blackout 2.0 for shade also or just sun

[@lawnlifevlogs]

The original fireball did great in shade. I would assume this would be close to the same since they're related. But I haven't had a chance to test it.

[@yoko180]

How is the disease resistance on blackout PRG? I always have problems with fungus.

[@lawnlifevlogs]

Don't go with prg if you've had issues with fungus. I'd go with the kbg or tttf. Prg is notorious for being tough with disease compared to the other varieties. I haven't personally had any issues though that could be different for you

[@jwilliamsloggedin]

I know you haven’t had it long, but can this germinate with moderate shade or does it require full sun?
