Is the leaf curled up towards the light or curled in like a taco?

If curled up - you are over feeding (possibly)
If taco'ing - it's most likely a heat issue

A pic would help...as well as what you are using (hydro/soil) and nutes being fed.

It's like a taco...hmmm...the other plant has no problems with the heat then?It's true that this one has an aditional PC fan blowing on it(the taco leaf one)...could be also a sign of low humidity or something?I have a soil grow,the soil was lightly fertilized and I use Cellmax nutes.Ty man

Welp, generally when a plant's leaves begin to 'taco' they are trying to transpire due to the heat. In other words, creating as much surface area for the stomata while at the same time trying to protect itself.

If you have a fan blowing directly on a plant this can sometimes cause the issue - since it will quickly dry out.

I'd recommend first to use an oscillating fan if possible. Let the breeze blow 'by' the plant, hitting it briefly while it passes.

Second, make sure you're using something to get the temperature of your canopy. In other words, putting a therm probe at the top of the plant where it's closest to the light. This will help you determine if the taco is due to actual heat (temps in the 90's) or because of the fan/humidity.
