Leafs curling up......... (Outdoors)

Recently, I have noticed my Sativa's leaves, mostly the upper leaves curling up, as though they are reaching for the sun.
Anything to bother with?
She is an outdoor plant, and buds slowly still filling in, but it's still gonna be a month or so if things keep going at this rate.
I just kinda set up a closet for an indoor winter grow, but grabbed some 2700k bulbs to put in there since the weather is starting to turn cold, especially with Sandy.
I just today started pulling my Indica in to the closet in the afternoon to try and help finish her, but I'm trying to decide whether or not to try and squeeze both plants in there.

Are they curling up like you would curl your finger? Or is the leaf still basically flat but the whole leaf and stem are aiming upward? If its the latter, then thats not out of the ordinary. If the leaf tips are curling, then something is awry. :eyesmoke:
 
We need pictures whenever possible to help properly diagnose your problem. And considering your mentioning sandy you live on the east coast. I see you live in Georgia. I live in Mass. I'm not sure what the temperature reaches there at night this time of year but around here we are approaching freezing at night. With will harm your plants. Your problem may be due to cold or a watering issue. Pictures would be very helpful.

LOL.
Good hit on the temp dude, I've been bringing them inside for over a week since a few weeks ago, we had a solid week of 40 degree nights, and it fucked me up.
A couple nights here and there, seem to give her a little boost, but after a week of it, I noticed most of the fan leaves turning black, but the weather had already turned warm for 2 days.
It turned out to be Phosphorus lockout from the cold.
It seems the top few layers of leaves (whole leaves) are just kinda pointing upward, nothing drastic, and I don't think it's really a problem, but I'm curious what would make one plant (Sativa dominant) do it, but not my Indica dominant that sits right next to her.
**Note**
I have an Indica dom. plant, that really got hit by the cold, but my Sativa is the one that didn't notice it that much, but today showed this strange behavior.

It's more the whole leaf, not just pointing, but more of a gentle lifting.
It's not real important, but I thought this is something that I haven't seen asked before, and we might be able to spread a little knowledge before a newb more so than me asks about a similar condition.

Thanks, guys.....
If she is still doing this in the morning, I will clip some pics and throw them up.
She wasn't doing it when I first put her out this morning, but when I moved her to follow the sun in the afternoon, she was.

I have had plants that will go through stages of doing that. They will look normal or a tad droopy near the end of the light cycle, then when the light cycle comes back around they will perk up like that again for several hours. I just like to think the plant is happy and is praising its light God.:eyesmoke:

Ya, I kinda figured it was something like that, since nothing else seemed to change, with the plant or her feed/water/sleep habits.
I guess another tidbit of info to remember for when asked in the future.
Thanks.
