Hybrid Bermuda seedheads?

| First let me say that I know hybrid bermuda should not produce seedheads unless it is stressed. My question is how is my bermuda so stressed that it is throwing up seedheads. I have about 2700 sq ft of bermuda in my front yard and have about 500 sq ft with seed heads. The other areas do not do this. I cut it 5/8ths of an inch every third day with a reel mower, fertilize with 38-0-0 slow release every month, water at least 1 inch (prob closer to 1.5in) every week. Also did a soil test last fall which showed a ph of 6.4. Ph may be a tad low but not enough I would think to stress the bermuda. Any idea why this could be happening. Could too much water or fertilizer cause this issue? |

| They just do that this time of year. It'll quit soon. |

| Most likely cause is the early spring followed by cool temps. |

| Is it a hybrid seeded variety or was it sodded? |

| I also mow my lawn with a reel mower and use high nitrogen fertilizer and I still get some seedheads. Even hybrid bermuda will get them, however, the seeds will be inert. Give it a couple of weeks and they'll go away. |
