How long should I wait before mowing the lawn? Did the seeding/topsoil on the 19th and that June grass shit is tall.
Also what about walking on the lawn if I had to mow?
raise your mower to the tallest level.

lol you can walk on it...i'd cut it by the end of the week.
I think they say 4 weeks, but we had decent rain last week, some today, so you should be good.
I waited 3 weeks, but i also didn't cut the new patches that I am trying to grow, just existing grass that was fertilized.
I've been reading conflicting info about walking on it as it could crush/damage the new grass' root system or whatever.
Would this be a good "general" schedule to follow?
March – April
Clean debris from lawn areas
Apply lawn fertilizer with Crabgrass preventative (25-2-4) before first cutting. (If you want to re-seed grass areas within four weeks of this application, do not apply a fertilizer with Crabgrass preventative. Only apply a lawn fertilizer (12-12-20).)
Maintain mowing at 3" height for lawn areas
May – June
Maintain mowing at 3" height on a regular basis
Apply Weed & Feed (22-0-10) granular fertilizer when lawn has dew on grass leaves (A liquid application of Broad-leaf Weed Control can be applied, as a substitute, for a granular weed control treatment. However, the lawn will not receive a fertilizer feeding with this application.)
Water lawn in summer if dry (at least 1" water per week)
July – August
Increase mowing height to 3 ½ " and keep mowing on a regular basis
Apply a non-burning, slow release lawn fertilizer (22-0-11)
Water lawn in summer (at least 1" water per week)
September – October
Clean leaf debris from lawn, as needed
Maintain mowing at 3" height on a regular basis
Apply Weed & Feed (22-0-10) fertilizer when lawn has dew on grass leaves - OR - only apply a Liquid Formulated fertilizer, if necessary.
November – December
Clean leaf debris from lawn, as needed
Maintain mowing height at 3" ( DO NOT cut lawn short before winter)
Apply Winterizer (12-12-20) fertilizer after final mowing

New grass is coming up quite nicely but I notice some bare spots. Should I wait till late summer early fall to add more seeds? When's a good time to spread the grubex?
NOW!!!!!
The cool weather is helping.
I already applied Grubex on monday.

Both?
Edit: forgot to mention that my backyard is all dirt since I dug it all up and plan to sod the whole thing. Would it be a good idea to throw some grubex down before topsoil and sod?
before I put topsoil down, I'd apply grubex. now would had been a good time to do it since it's gonna rain.. the water disolves the chemicals to kill those nasty grubs.
you can still do both. it wont hurt the grass lol
