Default Winter Watering- How much?

I love to water my plants and have killed quite a few through overwatering, but I think I might be about to kill some bananas from not watering enough!

The problem is my greenhouse gets quite cool at night (down to about 50F) and I'm afraid to water my plants too much and cause rot.

Then again, on sunny days it can get to be 100 degrees in the greenhouse.

I just found a spot that looks like rot on one of my big ones, the top of the soil is dry and I peeked through a crack near the bottom of the pot, looks dry there too, although I watered it last week.

Can I find a happy medium? I thought I was lucky having a greenhouse but my watering and the temperature flucuations are turning my plants into crispy critters!
