Default Newer leaves turning lighter

After my musa basjoos have been growing all season, they now seem to be turning lighter and lighter. Is this basically a response to the cooler weather?
I liked it better when they consistently made dark leaves so perhaps I need to add a few handfuls of ironite. They are still growing, but look like they are declining in health maybe because 1ft deeper was too deep.

This shows how the newer leaves seem to be progressively getting lighter and it might be from the 40degree nights we've had lately.

Here's how they were 1 month ago when new leaves darkened up quickly.
