Plant looks healthy overall. I wouldn't worry too much unless it gets worse. Plants don't always grow perfect.

I've seen that type of leaf curl myself (with some strains/phenos over the years). Sometimes it can cause the the top bud/growth node to grow misinformed (as the curled leaf can sit over the top and cause plant to grow 'funny').
Normally it just appears on one (or so) sections of the plant. And has no effect, apart from one misinformed leaf.
In its worst state, it occurs at each growth node of the plant (causing lots of weird growth patterns).

Keep you eye on the plant. If its a 'once off', don't worry and carry on.

I just figured it was a genetic thing. Didn't know all of the causes (mentioned here), I'm guessing theres a few things that can trigger this then.

Question: how often do you water? I do the finger test & 1st was told if I over water it will do this but my plants were dry somewhat on top at least an inch down. I was also misting them daily with a sprits of well water..in gna stop that too...I also put the ceilng fan on low to circulate the room. & put the lights a bit higher. the room stays at about 76°. no worsening and yes its a new top coming in on those 3.. thank you so much!!
