They're supposed to be self pollinating, so I buzz them, but normally I expect to see the larval cukes at the base of the flowers, and I'm just not. Like they're all male blossoms.

This is the craziest thing. Ever since I got my first Aerogaren, I've been very enthusiastic about growing cilantro, but have been lucky to get two months out of them.
Well, due to my issues lately, I've been lax about watering and feeding all of my aerogardens, and maybe because of this, the cilantro is still thriving nearly four months later. It was supposed to be sacrificial, yet it's the one thing that doesn't look harmed by my neglect.
So, perhaps the key with Cilantro is to let it get dry (ish) and under-feed it.

If so, that’s great news Dawn. Because like you I love cilantro but it is pesky because it goes south so soon. I will have to remember to experiment with this.

This is the first time I've actually seen cilantro crowd out the other plants. It killed my little leaf cukes, and I finally gave up on the pattypan squash because as big as the plant got, it was losing the battle to the cilantro.
Meaning that this semi-Farm has mostly cilantro and one yellow cherry tom plant that's still producing.

Terminated this because it'd run its course. Got some nice tomatoes and cilantro out of it.
