I think I narrowed this down to plythium blight. I’m still seeing mycelium on the grass blades in the morning. Can someone else confirm this?

I was watering 3x per day up until last week as I dropped some new seed to fill in a lot of bare spots and was trying to keep the area moist.

Spoon Fed Urea... Waiting for Rain

I spoon-fed urea at 0.25lbs N in the late evening today but didn't get a chance to water it in. We have rain coming overnight tonight around 3am. Should to run my irrigation before then to avoid leaf burn?
