Yes, that would be it.  Their growth rate is too slow to notice because of the
coolness, but they'll pick up as soon as the temperature increases.  As long as
they look okay I wouldn't worry too much.  Keep covering them if the nights are
dropping below 45F.

If they weren't hardened off enough you'd know by now:
  pale or wilted looking leaves - cold damage
  white or tan tissue in leaves - sun scald
