Anyone else using it?
I'm gonna give it a try later this week starting at a low rate of .2 oz per thousand (common bermuda), and at a lower rate for St. Aug.
These pictures convinced me to go for it, and I don't really have the time to mow every 2-3 days right now.

I just put down my first application (1/2 rate) about a week and a half ago so I can't really report on much yet. I have Tifway 419.
Make sure to add some iron to your application to help with possible tip burn.

Ideally I’d mix iron, PGR, and Ammonium Sulfate.

I did not add a surfactant. I do not recall that being something recommended with PGR?
I added NutriSolve (Ron Henry product) which has 2% iron in it as well as other micronutrients.

I didn’t add iron last year and burnt my front. Took a good while to recover

I haven’t done it yet. Strange weather, early greening followed by a stall, I have been trying to aerate the last 4 Saturdays and it rains, I’m sand leveling May 31st and June 1st so I want the grass to grow through. 46-0-0 should expedite that.

Up, down, all around. 21% ammonium sulcate to push growth. Can grow vertical so must grow horizontal

Editing this thread title now to be more general.
Did you start PGR last season though? I saw a thread from last year where you talked about it.

What’s the cost of this per ksqft? I’ve heard of it but haven’t really delved into it since I have a very large lawn.
Would it be suitable for zoysia as well?

For Zoysia, it’s rated at 11 oz an acre.
You’d probably start with 6.5 until you get comfortable with it.
Label rate could stunt growth for quite a long time, or so I’ve read.
T-nex is almost $1.25 per oz. When you buy a gallon. Roughly $160.
So label rate will run you a little less than $13.75 per acre per application. Or, about 31 cents per thousand sq ft per application.
Usually apply every two weeks.

I use Solace from Regal Chemical, start around 14 oz/acre and increase through the growing season (on bermuda sports fields). Makes for a dense turf, and I time my applications before we get a wet period, to cut down on growth when we can't mow as often as we'd like. Also suppresses seed heads, which gives the fields a "grayish" look.
