are they curling up like as if they were in pain, or are they just reaching up to the sun? A picture would help a lot.
You got your answer!

temps get up to 50C in afganistan lol
Some strains don't support being under full sun with 30-40C. I m also growing outdoor this summer and could see some leaves feeling bad the days over 35C so I can't imagine if it was 30-40C all time under full sun

I've noticed my current grow they don't like being over 90F. They haven't been in a while as I use an air conditioning but my widows my 2nd grow seem to love the warmer temps.
You could try to put something on top of it to prevent too much sunlight to reach them.

do you grow indoors? if so, then i guess that explains it, from what i've read, outdoors can support much higher temps because the roots never get that hot in the soil because of airflow and soil not getting that hot down there

ok, some clarification please... the pic helped a lot. Is this a container grow or in the ground? This is not heat damage, looks more to be a magnesium deficiency.

container grow, i recently transplanted it into a very big pot, and gave some fertilizer after. i'm scared to go too hard on the fertilizer because this plant already got nutrient burn some time ago so i don't wanna risk it

Your instincts are mostly correct... now add some calmag to your watering, and hit it with the max recommended dosage since you are outside and dealing with all that solar energy. It is impossible to put enough magnesium, or for that matter, calcium in the soil without locking out other things, so it is oftentimes necessary to supplement all through the grow. This one is a hungry girl, and she is just asking for a little bit more than she can find in the water and the soil.

i also water my plants with filtred water (regular filter jug) because the ph is of 6.6, compared to 7+ of tap water
maybe i should water with tap water and add some vinegar to lower ph? (tap water should have more minerals than filtered right?)

I have a great recipe for a supplement made out of egg shells but it'll take you about 20 days to get it fermented up... Check my links.
