I’m only 2 weeks in and I have yellowing leaves and spots happening to my mango smile miphesto autos. I also have what appears to be some wilting and curling on the leaves. At least to my untrained eye.
I think I may have over watered the 5 gallon fabric grow pots of FFOF . I was lightly spraying the top of the soil for a week or so but then started to water my plants by spraying them with a wand progressively heavier for about 5 days. Then i slowed down once I saw yellow. Water ph is about 6.7 Not Feeding Nutrients Yet
I also had my spiderfarmer sf2000 at about 26inch 60% so I don’t know if it’s light burn as well? I moved it to 50% 32inch.
Finally today (Day 15) i saw the PPM was about 1550 and my buddy told me that was too high for it being so young so I flushed with with about 2 gallons of water each pot in an attempt to bring down the PPM. HOW DO I FIX MY SITUATION?

Not light burn. Capstone is correct about flushing organic soil. You should almost never do that. You probably flushed out some of your nutrients. I'm a little confused how you are getting a ppm reading. Can you specify your procedure?
The best way to fix your problem is to do less. You are overthinking things a bit. Let the soil dry out a bit if you were watering to runoff. Fastest way to do that is by blowing a fan on the side of your pot (not your plant). You just have a little root stress from too much watering. They don't need much at this stage. Doing too much will make things worse early on.
Don't stress. She'll be ok. Any time you have issues it's OK to lower light intensity so that was a good call even if it was for a different reason. Once it looks like it's recovering you can dial it back up.
Keep an eye out for deficiencies on new growth in about 2 weeks since you flushed some of the nutrients out.
