Stability Problem

Hi guys,
I planted an autoflowering seed and did the mistake to directly blow air to it with a fan. I used the fan from the 3rd day of the vegetative stage since the 10th day when I planted a stick near the plant to keep it steady. One day later I removed the stick and the plant couldnt stand its weight. Now I placed again the support stick. The plant itself doesnt have any other problem. It continues to grow as it did before this incident. How can I fix this problem?
Thanks in advance.

Dear tw1s3dm3ntal1ty,
My plant is 10 cm tall. Comparing to other photos I 've seen my steam is,as you mentioned, thinner.I use one CFL bulb (110W-Actually,I dont know if it is enough)and it's ~7-10 cm far from the top of my plant. IMO the problem lies on the first 2 cm of the plant. These 2 cm have different colour from the rest of the steam.Their colour is way more bright and seem to be weaker. I read that a solution may be to cover the deficient part of the plant with soil and that's what I intend to do.
Thanks for answering.
Best regards, PApapa.

yea thats what i would do, another thing u could do is take a straw cut to desired length then once again running down it so u can wrap it around ur stem. kinda like a cast

Dear tw1st3dm3ntal1ty,
I didnt understand the alternative solution you suggested.
Can you explain further?
Best regards, Papapa.

take a drinking straw, cut it down to size. ur plants 3 inches tall so about 2 inches. then cut it straight down the middle so it still looks like a straw but u can open it and wrap it around your plants stem
