Which brings up stakes, you may want to buy some plant stakes to support your plant as indoor plants tend to be kinda flimsy in the stalk.

Only if you have insufficient light....which brings me to my point. One of the biggest mistakes new growers make is to use too little light or move it too far away. DON'T be overly concerned about buring the plant vs. too little light. it's kind of hard to burn a plant with flouresants and really easy to starve a plant from a lumens perspective. If your plants become spindley and fall over, it's a sure sign you don't have enough of a light source or the light is too far away.

As far as fertilizer goes, you should fertilize at least once every week durring the flowering stage.

don't you think that's a little excessive, especially towards the end of the flowering stage where you want to completely wean off of any fertalizers. Oh, make sure (for budding stage) you use somewhat high phosphorus (N-P-K), but balanced as well...something like 10-30-10 or 10-30-20.
