Bermuda Lawn stained Dark Brown after spraying

Hey fellas,

This past Saturday I mixed and sprayed some Certainty/Celsius/Spoon Juice (YM)/Moisture Max (YM)/PGR as foliar treatments. Then I switched nozzle tips and mixed and sprayed some RGS/Humic 12 as soil treatments.

I wanted to spray in the morning before things got too hot, but it's so humid here that the grass was soaking wet from dew until almost 12:00 pm. So, I ended up spraying around 1:00 pm just because it was the only time I had to do it.

I wanted the foliar treatments to absorb in so I didn't water until the next morning. Long story short, my lawn looks as if the dark brown color of the Spoon Juice/Moisture Max/RGS/Humic 12 has stained my lawn Dark Brown. It doesn't look burnt, just stained.

Have I ruined my lawn? Did I apply too much product at once? Is there anything I should do, or do I just mow and water frequently per usual until the color goes away?

It is extremely hard to kill Bermuda. My wife decided to backwash the pool filter and dump it out on the side lawn. We were giving the pool a heavy dose of chlorine because of the extreme heat we are experiencing. The grass turned brown and let’s just say I was less than unhappy. Just with the morning dew and mowing it came back within 3 weeks like it never happened. You will be fine

Right on! I'm worried about killing the Bermuda. I'm more worried about the recovery time. The in-laws are coming to visit in about 4 weeks, and I really want to impress them, lol.

There is a guy down the street from me who just started his lawn journey about 6 weeks ago. He has no irrigation, but he does reel mow, and his lawn is nice and thick and a rich green color. I've been on my journey since last season, and my lawn has never looked like that. I water, I give the soil nutrients, I've dethatched, I've core aerated, and I've sand leveled, I put in a French drain, and it still has never looked as good as his does now, in the hottest part of the season.
