Nooo. You deff are over watering them. When you feel the soil is dry pick up the put to see if its heavy or not. If not then add your water. Chill with the water bro

300 mls seems like a small amount of water for those sized pots, or at least it does, to me. I use the same sized pots, and mine get 2 full liters each watering, which is every 2-3 days, depending on temps. I'm not sure what to recommend, but I don't think it's overwatering. It's likely underwatering, as you suspected. Maybe they could also use a flush, as i doubt there's any runoff when you water, which could cause salts/waste to build up, over time.

Roots exposed to the light will die, but one root strand coming out the bottom isn't going to kill your plant. Now that you say there 4 weeks old maybe they need a feeding if you say the bottom leaves are yellowing and dying? If you picked up your plant is it extremely light or is it heavy?
there in terracota pots so its kinda hard to tell if there heavy from water or just cause there thick pots. there in soil to

Well an easy way to tell is if you fill up one of the pots with dry soil and see how heavy it is and then compare it to the potted plant.
