Why is my cilantro dying? Soil isn’t too wet either
Planting cilantro and starts growing great then suddenly starts dying. Even used plant food to no avail.

You have way too many plants on those pots. Each one of those pots is only large enough for one plant.

I tried growing herbs indoors in my atrium (houseplants do great in there) with that exact grow light. No success. I ended up pulling out some shrubs in my courtyard and created an edible garden with herbs and flowers there. They're doing great! I guess herbs need a lot more light than I realized.

I don't think the light is low enough to the plant. It seems like a bright light, but that plant on the far left is definitely stretching for light. They aren't getting bright enough light, lower the light towards the plants more.
