Any suggestions?

As long as it is still getting very warm in the greenhouse during the day, I wouldn't worry too much about overwatering. Most likely the soil temperature is staying pretty warm. It's probably worth investing a few bucks in a decent soil thermometer and checking the soil temp in morning to see how cool it is getting. If the soil is staying warm, then keep watering, provided you are seeing a decent rate of leaf growth. If the leaves aren't growing and the soil is consistently wet and cold, you are asking for trouble. Good luck.
