Also, I've had good luck propping up plants using cheap, plastic picnic forks. Bury the handle in the soil medium and put the stems of the babies between the tines. Careful not to have the fork spring back and break the little stems though. Good luck ...

I have huge healthy stalks,all you need is good light source and they will grow just fine, a fan does simulate wind in nature though,but in nature you have high winds that would break a plant if slower winds didnt strengthen them,you not going to have high winds in your grow room,I only use a fan to control temp,good luck
