Try this... because I think you are watering too often, and the fingertip in the soil is not a valid test of what is happening down at the lower root level.
Fill up a similar container with dry soil. Lift it to get an idea of the weight, or weigh it. You want your containers to feel like this before watering again. If your human senses can discern water weight, it is not yet time. These are not tomatoes, they are weeds, and they do not thrive if you make life too easy for them. Make them work for the water. I wrote a piece on how to properly water our weeds... the link is down below. I think the knowledge contained therein will be a big help to you.
