Most Everything Ive Read (University of Florida, TAMU, etc Guides) says to stop fertilizing around October or so in Florida, and restart March/April.

Ran across a Lawn Care Nut Video saying to continue fertilizing every 30 days South of I-4, unless the lawn is fully dormant. I've Never heard of this before, do any of y'all do this?

FYI :currently mowing every 2 weeks at 3.5, maybe cutting .25 each time. My lawn is currently a mix of Green Healthy and Straw Colored Mix within, it's mostly evenly distributed. Where it was all green before December ish.

Lawn Care Nut says some winter die back is from competition for little nutrients. Makes sense in theory but seems to be against the traditional thought.
