Is this happening to just your radishes, or is it happening to other root vegetables too? I have never grown radishes but I have had this issue with beets and carrots and found out the hard way that a lot of newer subdivisions will scoop off most of the top soil and only leave a little bit before you hit clay. The lack of soil prevents things like root vegetables from growing larger. If you know that's not an issue, then it's probably something else.

    I have them in a pot about 15" deep with soil. I planted them in the top 0.25".

    Well then it sounds like that's not it. Could maybe also be a nutrient issue. Some of the larger vegetables tend not to grow as big when there's a lack of specific nutrients like calcium. But again, I've never grown radishes so I don't exactly know what they need.
