I personally confirmed it twice after they added the ability to check Mog Garden stats. Rank7 KI became available for purchase at 512x total harvests. -_-;; Checking on them during growth, fertilizer or not, and growth time per seed all have no relation to rank ups.

And I'm guessing that furrows being technically the fastest possible node is what prevents the devs from making it easier for everyone.
