So this is my small Grains N Greens plot planted 3 weeks ago. As you can see in my soil sample my soil is horrible! I asked for recomendations for seed and what to do with the soil via email and got them pretty quick. I used a homade ripper/subsoiler to tear up and out all the roots and rocks. I then used a 3 "C" shank cultivator with 10" sweeps to get the soil prepped. Then used a homemade drag to clean up all the roots etc. Prior to seeding I limed (pellet) and fertilized to recomendations then re-cultivated to get it in the soil. Used the drag again then sprayed grandpa ray's 4-15-12 seed starter. Broadcasted seed then used a lawn roller to get the seed to soil contact. And this is what it's looking like. I honestly don't know if this is good growth for the time or not. Any comments and or suggestions appreciated!

Since you got that done with a ph of 4.7, just wait for the lime to start working.
