and leaf curl is usually one of the following: over fert, high heat, too much light, over or underwatering..usually ph issues result in a discoloration of the leaves...my leaves curled on my first grow and it was because the soil was too compact resulting in soggy soil that wouldnt drain properly, even though i was watering correctly.

you can try to add some perlite..its gonna be hard with the plant in the pot...and the ph meter link i posted is for checking water/nutrients, not soil.

spraying my plants with azatrol made the leaves get all funky curled up on one of my strains (noname). Just saying could be a sprayed on substance causing the problems.
