My vortex is doing this a little bit too. I think it might be too much wind for a strain that's not used to being outdoor? Maybe it's losing too much water and is 'closing up' a bit to save water? I'm not sure but that's my guess. It should be fine. The more wind shielded part looks better on mine.

Mine are watered and they still do this.....idk what it is either.....something in the native soil is what I'm thinking. maybe feeding on the roots or damaging them in some way

if the tops start to fade it's a micronutrient deficiency. If it start from the bottom then its a N-P-K deficiency. Use something like azomite,Kelp, & Cal-mag(dolomite) to make sure your plants have all there micronutrients.
Plants always need a steady source of micronutrients.

Thanks purpz...I'm feeding the General Organics line..Roots HPK, Bio Marine, Bio Weed, General Org Cal/Mag and a tablespoon per gallon of Blackstrap Molasses every other watering, then once a month hit it with liquid bone meal.
Maybe it needs more nutes? This plant has more mass than my other plants. It's 6 feet tall and easily 4 feet wide at the widest section.
imo it looks like heat stress/needs water.i dont see to much dis coloration in the leaves (patches of green or yellow)maby a little nit deficient ,but i always thought ur feeding to much if the tips of the leaves curl down not up.i say needs water because when the leafe if self make a boat like shape is because they want water.(boat like shape up to catch rain)

Looking through my growers bible..the closest I can find to a picture and definition of my symptoms is a Zinc deficiency. I'm going to give her a good soaking of irrigation water and see what that does.
