Most seed will germinate within two weeks of planting, but this will largely depend on the type of seed you are planting. Once the seed has germinated, maintain a consistent watering schedule, accounting for current weather conditions.

The best time to water your grass is between 4 a.m. and 6 a.m. If possible, you should avoid watering in the evening.
