Hi,i re-seeded part of my lawn,the grass has come up really
great,my question,can i mow the top few inches off? it's
about 5
to 6 inches tall where i re-seeded.

Thanks for any help.

By the way im in Wash State if that helps.

Immediately, and bag it because with the damp dew in the
morning it
can rot on the lawn. Never wait so long that it will remove
more
than two inches of the blade during any mowing.

WRONG. Never remove more than a third. Mulching is the best.

What's wrong? Newly seeded grass is very moist and tender and if left
on the surface in cool fall temps can fester diseases. The OP said
the grass was now 5-6 inches tall. And yes, also never remove more
than a third of the blade and after the turf is established only use a
mulching mower. I only use a mulching, rechargeable electric mower.
