Default Leaves are curling
My plant is 3-4 months old. I am a first time grower and do not do anything to it. I am growing it outdoors in the southeast with no fertilizers or anything. Giving it water when it needs it. About a week or two ago it started to curl its leaves, and thought it was because we had a couple of storms back to back, and it got too much water, but I let it dry out and gave it water when the soil was really dry. I have resumed its regular watering schedule, but it still looks bad. It used to look pretty healthy but now it is just getting worse and worse. I am worried it might die or something Can someone help out? Pictures below...

Default It has a partner that is okay
The weird thing about it is that I have one other plant that has had the same exact conditions, and it is perfectly okay! The curling leaves on the damaged one are really really dry and brittle. Is that indicative of over watering?

Yeah I think I might try the shade thing. It has been really really hot here lately with a heat index of over 100 deg. Would it hurt the plant if I brought it inside for a couple of days to ride out this heat wave, even though I do not have grow lights? It might not get very much light...

It's the heat and underwatering that's doing it. The leaves curl up like that at the top to try and reduce the area for water evaporation - it's the plants defence mechanism against high heat, low water and low humidity.

I'd agree moving it into a cooler area out of direct sun would help and make sure the pot is fully saturated with water and you get some run off out of the bottom of the pot. Leave it in the shaded cooler area until it starts to improve.
