      Hello @RonHenry great video I know it’s been a year ago but I have been searching for someone who knows how to apply primo max in the forums. I am still learn,could you please help and let me know when I can start to use primo maxx on Long Island New York. For 2,149 lawn how much oz of primo maxx can I apply that has tttf and kbg grass? I’m thinking to use 2 gallon sprayer. How often ? Is there a ground temperature or any indication of when it’s good to put down and when to stop? Thanks 🙏

    This is my first season using pgr. I did a split app for my first application because I was afraid of tip burn and just kept doing half rate apps every two weeks because it seemed to be working well. Glad to see someone with more experience validating my approach 😆. Thanks as always for the great content, Ron!

    Long drought in the north alabama area that sprinklers are rare. My lawn has taken a hit but is by far the greenest and least dormant lawn in the area I have seen, to include the rare lawns with irrigation. I literally have applied no other products aside from the feature and bug killer I apply with the PGR. Most underrated lawn product by far.

    Hi Ron great videos, I have a plush green bluegrass, so of course I wanted to keep it that way, so when I heard other viewers mention using Iron might help keep it green, so I though that was a good idea. It was not still yellowed , but liquid iron never seem to work for me, But at least it did slow down my growth. Now waiting for it to turn back dark green. Thank for the videos! My opinion, I do not recommend this product on cool season grass! even at a slightly lower dose it keeps my beautiful KBG and Rye brown, yes it did slow the growth which would have been great with a dark green lawn. My lawn has never look this bad. Cool season grass grower with a beautiful lawn BEWARE! P.S that was about the T-nex P.G.R

    I’m applying less than half rate and seeing great results! Doing .25 oz per gallon/per 1K SF. Every two weeks with some FEature and Pro Solutions 15-0-0 with 6% iron mixed in with it.
    Haven’t had any rain in over two months, and even with irrigation over my entire lawn, I’m seeing some browning from the drought.
    Supposed to rain some the next few days possibly.
    Went from mowing every 3-4 days to 7-10 days! I have an acre lot so I don’t mind the less mowing!

      You still need to mow when using growth regulator. I still mow every other day. The clippings that come off the lawn are substantially reduced. It allows me to maintain the lawn at lower cutting heights with less chance of discoloration from mowing.

So especially with Bermuda. It will help fill in bare spots faster because it puts out more available energy at spreading by horizontal growth and not so much at top growth.
