With turfed, as soon as you like once it starts growing. It's seeded lawns
you need to be a bit more careful with. However, I would set it for a long
cut for now - The root system is growing and more leaf area = more energy
from the sun converted.

Good idea to keep it watered as you are doing until it bonds properly with
the original soil under the new turfs.
