How is my jalapeno(megatron) doing?

Experimenting in growing indoors. A bit over a month old, this plant is 9 inches to the crown. The growth seems to have slowed a little bit, but I've also been watering a little bit less (2, maybe 3 times a week) to help keep a fungus gnat problem in check (neem oil, a fungus gnat specific soak, and nematodes). That said, I'm seeing more leaves at the crown and buds at the base of leaves. One of the initial leaves has fallen off, should I trim the other? Additionally, it has developed a lean and I've been rotating the plant and moving the grow light to help correct this. I've had a fan blowing over it nearly 24/7 to help keep it stiff and strong, but still seems a bit weak. Anything I can/should do to support it correct the lean? Is it time for fertilizer? Any brands/types you recommend? Sorry for a million questions, but anything I can learn from this plant will help with a few more that should be sprouting soon, so all help is appreciated.
