Up until this morning I have been concerned about my little plants stem being too thin to support the leaf growth but today it colapsed. I have it supported right now but I need to know if there are any ways to strengthen the stem??? Please help

Put an oscillating fan blowing on it. It's supposed to help strengthen up the stem. Get your lights as close as you can without burning your plants to prevent stretching.

I had this same problem when my plant got too big for its pot... I didnt anticipate it gettin so big, it stretched to three and a half times the size it was when I initiated the flowering cycle.... Got to use a big pot for a big plant so the roots can support the plant... small pot + big plant = disaster.

I'll try the fan, thanks and I don't think it's overwatering because the top soil is mostly dry to the touch

be careful because just because the top is dry doesnt mean the bottom is.
depending on how good the drainage is in your medium. you could have a lot of moisture down under the top. a good way to check is look into the drainage holes you poked or came on the bucket. look into em and you will be able to see how wet the soil is. also you should see the begginings of roots down there. they should be bright white. If they are brown and yellow then you may have root rot. just put a fan on it and dont forget the leafs , your canopy should be in constant motion
