Hi! Agree stripes are the best! When mowing short, you do have to increase your frequency. At that height, you should be fine mowing 3 times a week with a good sharp reel. The goal is to strike an appropriate balance between cutting often enough to ensure you don't injure the turf, while not mowing so often that repeat exposure to the equipment and traffic can result in unintentional stress. Good luck! Keep us posted
