What is light dose of Nitrogen?

In my opinion, no more than 0.25lb of N/ksqft. I've done 0.10lb/ksqft. Get to know your risks. More nitrogen means more water, more water leads to more fungus. I go fast nitrogen so it is not lingering there for a while if you need to dial back.

I actually was even thinking of what some term a 'teaspoon feeding'.
So that 0.10lb/k sounds like it.

Is 46-0-0 considered fast N?

I'm not trying to push growth as much as trying to ensure the 3 months between feedings doesn't stress out the grass.

Don't have my conversion hat on this AM but what is the application rate for 46-0-0 Urea to equal the Nitrogen rate referenced above?

I think it's this:

There is 46% N in 46-0-0 fert = 0.46 pound of N per pound of fertilizer.

Calculation - source: http://pubs.ext.vt.edu/424/424-035/424-035.html

Rate of fertilizer to apply 0.25 lb N/1,000 sq ft:
0.25 lb N ÷ 0.46 lb N/lb of fertilizer = 0.54 lb of 46-0-0 fert/1,000 sq ft.
