Plant Growth Regulator (PGR) for a Home Lawn 

Best video ever watched at a speed of 0.5!!!!

I like your video style. Concise and to the point. Great PGR vid.

I'd like to join that discussion.

John Ware, the spokesman of TLF :D

I joined the warm season grass group but, are waiting for approval. Anyway, I applied the T Nex PGR as the grass was waking up about 5 to 6 weeks ago. I know I added more than 0.25 per gallon in a motorized 4-gallon backpack sprayer using a fan type tip. I think it might've been overkilling it but, it's continuing to wake up but slowly and I see a few spots I missed weeks later. So, the neighbor's yards have been cut 3 times already and I haven't at all yet BUT will run it across it to pick up any debris laying around. The grass was scalped to 1 1/2" before any wake up started. I fertilize and weed treat all year and won the city award for the best-maintained yard overall last season (without any) PGR. I work my yard more than 1 day a week. I wanted to try this T Nex PGR this year to stop the issues 'vertically maintained' grass delivers. Stop the 1/3 of the tip every 3-day cutting. So with all that said my grass is slowly waking up of course but it makes the lawn look asleep here and the greening up in others plus the few patches of missed PGR application. With my heavier application than listed on the jug caused sleepy areas of brown. Could the grass be dead there from too much, too early? I guess the whole lawn would be dead looking (except the missed spots) if that was the case right? I have a product from Green Lawnger (green grass paint like golf courses use.) This can be added to most anything but is not used for just seeing where you're spraying. It actually will stay on the lawn for 8 - 11 weeks or more depending on how dark green you want it. Have you ever used grass paint on Bermuda? It's almost award giving time again and I'm seriously thinking of just painting it and let the PGR work away until I can get the grass thicker and green from the grass since this will wear off over time. Both the T Nex and the paint can be used together once what I want is achieved afterward. Sorry for the novel but, I wanted to cover as much as I could so, maybe you have a shorter reply with the straight forward reply. Thanks so much and waiting for your return here.

Can these be beneficial for long cut lawns, like 3 3/4 inches? I have a very large lawn that takes a couple hours to mow using a 54in zero turn mower and it is getting really annoying having to mow every 4-6 days!

Good info John the side by side picture drives it home I have been wanting to try it I knew the price per gallon was high but I didn’t know the rate was so low... its definitely on the to do list👍🏻

Thanks John for the video, I am no where near using anything like this but it is very interesting to me to know that this stuff is out there.

Great video, informative and to the point

First thanks for the turf knowledge. My Bermuda grass is looking it's best. I have a couple of spots that I'm trying to have the grass cover-up, will the PGR minimize the lateral growth of my Bermuda grass? Thanks in advance.

After watching multiple videos about the reasons to use PGR on my home lawn has made me want to do it to my KBG lawn. That side by side really drove it home for all those that may have been on the fence about using a PGR in their yard. For me due to it making the lawn thinker I have less fear of my dogs messing it up excessively when they run on it.

Do you notice that T Nex helps suppress growth at the edges as well as it does in the interior of the lawn? I've seen a product called 'edgeless' marketed specifically for the edges, but it looks to be about 3x's more expensive than T Nex. If T Nex would perform just as good as Edgeless around the perimeter i think i've just found an awesome product!! Looking forward to your response, Thanks!!!

If you have tree's In yard do you need to stay away from spraying close to trunk?

Thanks John I here more about folks using this, think I may give it a try. From what I here can't use t nex in California but podium is doable. Thanks Chris.

Great video, excellent information. Do you have any recommendations for treating bushes to reduce growth?

The blades look closer together. Will this thicken up the lawn too?

how many takes did that first cut take?

Awesome video as always. I have a lawn service and have been thinking about using PGRs on my customers lawns and only around the edges and areas to be string trimmed. Do you think this would work and how long do you think I could go without trimming or edging? Most of my lawns are Centipede and cut 2.5"-3"

Would mowing with a reel make that sprig in the picture look like that too?Just curious, does your neighbor use a reel?

Does your neighbor use a reel as well? I wonder if that could also cause some difference as well...?

JW,,,doesn’t the application require a surfactant like MSO? NIS?

I’ve got a bad mole problem! I can’t see any moles in your yard didn’t know if you knew how to handle them or not?

Do you know if this will stop your bermuda from filling in and spreading by stunting the stolens?

Hi im orchardest How to use it, And when can sprinkling of this in plants ,What will be the ratio of this in 200 litre of water, Use this pgr on flowers or at pink bud stage .. Does it work like promolin

How many takes did it take you to get the chemical compounds correct? That was a mouth full haha.

Do you feel it would have any positive impact on bermuda cut at 3"- 3.5"? Would it be a good idea to mix with a blue marking when spraying down with pump sprayer? I was hoping it might look even thicker but at that height I am not sure. Thanks Mr. Ware!!

I wish I would have put some of this T-NEX down earlier this year! MY TTTF is growing like crazy since I got my pH and neuts where the should be thank to MATT & ALLYN, and NCDA&CS for the soil test results... next year for sure!

Cutless baby! Love the vid.

I'm not good with math so someone help me out. I am only treating my 5k sq ft front yard. How long will a gallon of this stuff last for my yard? How frequently is it sprayed ideally?

What is the shelf life, Ive been buying big sizes of things too but I didnt think about, will it be good in 5 years

Thank you John

I actually love mowing every 2-3 days. My Bermuda is just below 1” and 4k sq ft takes me about 25 minutes to mow, edge, and blow. Still on the fence about PGR for other beneficial reasons though.

St Aug lawn with a zoysia lawn games section. Put my PGR down a couple weeks ago and man, has it slowed everything down. Couple observations thus far, though... not a great color response in the St Aug... the zoysia slowed down so much that Bermuda is now starting to take over. Gonna have to address that STAT!

I did an application of T-Nex 1AQ mixed with Trimec 992 on bermudagrass. After seeing noticable yellowing, I reread the Trimec label where it says not to mix with a microemulsion. A done dizzle now. Any suggestions of how to bring to turf back to a healthy state?

Can I use it on st agustin grass?

I’m in the beginning stages of rehabbing a 1000sq common Bermuda lawn in Arizona. My question is will I ever be able to cut it sub 1” or can I slowly introduce a hybrid type over the next few years if needed? Just love that low cut look.

How many applications cause direction says no more than 7 oz per 1000 sq ft in a year, im going by the 200 gdd

Where do you buy it?

Better Color On The Grass Is That What You Mean?.

Anyone know the differenc in the Yellow label vs the Blue label?

I have 1250 sq ft of lawn and it uses 2 gallons , how many ounces of t nex will i need , label states .75 per 1000 sq ft

What about using this on regular bermuda?

Great vid John. No f$$ck**ng around. Gets rt 2 d 👉🏻

Wish I can get that here in canada

Awesome channel. I need a good sprayer, 7,000 sqft lawn, T10 Bermuda. Without breaking the bank. Thanks

What about rgs lol

you didn't even factor in the saved gas from one less mowing

Like this PGR, you need to slow down.
