Clueless ! Turf or seed ?

Here we are around 5 weeks.

Is now the time to give it a mow ?

Im paranoid about the roots not being strong enough but have been led to believe mowing it will make it grow out and fill patchy spots.

 

As to mowing as i can't use a tradition mower even a self propelled one, I have to use a ride on ( yardman dx70 ).
If I seed my lawn am I stumped from using a ride on, or is turf better in this case.

 

Here we are after the cut !

Not looking terrible but certain areas are going white and brown.

There is a lot of white in the pre existing grass also.

Is there anything i can apply to resuce this ?

 

Looks like you are cutting too low jonathan.
Raise the cut and try to mow at least once a week. Keep well watered too
For me regular mowing and higher cut are two of the most important things to do to a lawn right now
