5 to 7 days should be enough.

Yes, 7 days is fine. Howver, it's getting late to be seeding a new
lawn in Iowa. Early fall is by far the optimum time, followed by
early spring. Be prepared to do a lot of watering, and you'll have
serious competition from weeds.

Good point. But I've had fair results seeding before the end of May here
in central Iowa. It's been pretty cool this year.
