Fungus Due to Watering Concern
post by Gmehenge on Jul 11, 2024
Can’t tell if this is OK or not…. Could use your advice plz.
I have 8 zones at my house.
I am running a Rachio2 on Flex Daily schedule on Long Island in NY.
In order to successfully run all 8 zones before sunrise, it requires Rachio to turn on at 1230am.
Any time it needs to water thereafter it starts at 1230 whether it’s 1 or any combination of all 8 zones.
I’ve read so many posts about night watering causing fungus so it worries me.
Is a 1230am start acceptable?
What would you do differently if 1230am is a no-no situation?
Many thanks in advance!

Watering Lawns early morning hours are preferred; as adsorption is the MOST (rather than day) also, (I haven’t heard) Fungus growth due to watering lawns! I’ve been Watering Zoysia Grass for the past 35+ years.
