This could be an issue of too much nitrogen in the soil, or not enough phosphorus and potassium. I would test your soil to know, exactly, what is wrong. Here is an article that will help:

Alternatively, you may not need to water every day. Wet soils can cause blossom formation, but fruit drop. The soil needs to dry, thoroughly, down to about 3 inches or so between watering. This will not, likely, be on a schedule. It will be as it is needed.

You can test your soil moisture to be more accurate:
