Do I need a fan blowing ON plants if lst'ing?

I know a fan blowing on the plants makes stems stronger to hold more weight and also "feeds" more CO2. I've got great ventilation w/passive intake (6" duct fan w/2" intake) so am not so worried about CO2/air exchange, but if I'm always going to pull what would become the primary producing branch down 90 degrees w/lst, are "strong" stems that important b/c I'm not going for a lot of height. Tnx.

yes. cannabis likes a lot of fresh air, and LST'd plants benefit from the stiffening same as other methods.

The fans also provide assistance to heat control and humidity around the plants. So the EYE's have it.
Keep a fan running.

It is important to keep leaves moving because they use up the CO2 immediately around them, if the leaves are moving it brings in more CO2.

Thanks everyone! You all rock as always. Just got my CFL/Rubbermaid box finished tonight. Gotta tweak a few things tomorrow (and buy a small oscillating fan now!) but tomorrow is the big day...putting my first little baby seeds in my cups (that just popped) and going for my first grow! Excited is an understatement.
