I had a similar problem with my plant where the leaves starting curling like a taco...just like the one in your pic.
My guess was that it was too close to the light, causing heat stress, so I raised it a bit.
That seemed to solve the problem. If the leaves are getting overheated, their response is to clam up in an effort
to protect themselves. I'm no authority so this is purely speculation on my part. Try raising your light or get some
cooler air blowing between it and the plants.

That is heat stress. See the leaved taco-ing. You need ventilation. Do you have an exhaust fan in your tent?
