That will work fine. You can try giving them a little shake once or twice a day. but you usually only need to do that if you don't have fans.

Umm when you say moving pretty well what do you mean, cause if its blowing all over the place you don't want it to, can cause a lot of stress on the plant and possible stem snap age if its blowing hard enough. I think you will be set with the computer fan, cause i found normal house fans are to strong, computer fans work just fine!

Fimm them or top them if you still in veg.
If your in flowering already and have only been in flowering for between 1-3 weeks than you can use supercropping to thicken the stems

I think it depends on the size of your grow space. Mine is a micro grow, so I bought a five dollar high speed fan at Wallyworld. I adjust it a few times a day but never leave it directly on a plant. The air flow deflects off of the walls and moves the plants a bit. Working for me so far!

Just flick the stems every few weeks?
