As an 11 year golf course grass monkey, i have no idea what stops growth beside, cold, heat or lack of water, pesticides or way too much fertilizer will also kill it. For optimum growing conditions, a combined day and night temp of 140°-150°, a modest amount of water… thunderstorms are great because you get free water with air in it…(i cant spell the smart word for that), and proper granulated fertilizer to strengthen the roots and or green it to help growth.
