7 weeks from seed to harvest? .. ... ... no ... sorry, but just no. Yes, she is a fast one, but not THAT fast. Way overhyped when it comes to "speed".

Reviews. Nutrient
The proposed feeding schedule is WAAAAAY to much and tends to overfeed the soil. Especially when taking into account that you are supposed to "feed everytime for crazy results" - yeah, crazy bad ones at that. In the end I only fed once per week and only 75% of proposed values. Next time I think I will even go below that value tbh. Other than that all fine!
Perfect bottles for preparation (love that small portion-type thing on the top left!).
Reviews. Lamp
Would not recommend, will not use again. Way to much heat for not enough light imho.
Overall I am fine with this LED, but: For the price, there are better options out there imho. NO graduation on the dimming potentionmeters (i.e. NO idea, how much % the light is dimmed to actually) NO values for PPFD/DLI in any datasheet anywhere. ONLY use this lamp when you own a reliable PPFD meter (e.g. Photone App + diffusor). Other than that I like the concept of the two channels in theory. Alas I still have to try out whether you can really "steer" the plant growth with that or not...

I will update the final yield once everything is dry and curing! In the meantime: #1/4 and #2/4: Both had to be harvested (way to) early due to mold on the main colas (Botrytis) and thus developed an harsh taste in the vaporizer due to there being way to much chlorophyll in the buds I think. I decided to use this meager yield (~ 200g wet, 45g dry due to main colas being removed) for a FECO concenctrate and perhaps some edibles. Potency and taste of the final FECO are fine! #3/4: She took the longest and yielded 293g wet of ~40% amber trichromes. Still drying and curing now! #4/4: She is in the mid pack and finished with ~40% amber trichromes and 220g of wet mass. Still drying and curing now!

Seeing preflowering already on a fast growing strain (7 weeks according to Sweet Seeds) should I still opt for LST or just leave her alone and do her thing?

This is an autoflower not a fast flower, that is something different. but easy to confuse, Yes they both flower faster then normal standard photoperiods but its not the terminology that has been standardized as of late. Typically speaking, a "Fast Version/Flower" is one of two things. 1) A Photoperiod mixed with an Autoflower to make Fast Version seeds that tend to finish early. 2) A pure Photoperiod with no autoflower mixed in who just so happens to finish ripening up to two weeks earlier/faster then their other photoperiod counterparts. This is what I call Old Fast Flowers vs New Fast Flowers that are mixed with autos. New Fast Flowers also have a chance of just becoming an auto as well. Its in bloom now. Light LST to help air get to the nodes is nice, Anything to heavy and it may go into shock and be a negative overall.

As a beginner it is hard to classify that: Are the brown tips a sign for nutrient burn? Or rather a deficiency of something? Soil pH (out of whack) 7.4ish. Fighting that for weeks now... Soil EC ~ 2000 µS/cm. Crazy Hills fertilizer as scheduled. Thank you!

with that EC you are at the limit without CO2 It looks like a K def, but with that EC and PH it could be a little bit of lockout lower de PH to 7ish or 6.5 will be great.

2 out of 4 ladies show 70% foggy and 10% amber trichromes. Imho this will be enough to harvest? Or shall I go another week?

Interessant das die Keimung bei dir auch so lange gedauert hat.
