How many watts of heat? Are you cooling with an ac?
My fan is also a 14inch desk fan, im on a limited budget and using free beans I got in a bag of smoke to test before my real beans get here, have a female in the cabinet 2nd week into flower on 12/12 light. It's about half a metre high, would include a pic but use my iPhone for the net as don't own a laptop

You have one plant that's half a meter high?
Your light is seriously under powered for that one plant.
4x18w=64w.
64w of flouro hung above the plant gives you around 6" of usable light penetration.
You'll need at least 100w of flouro/cfl per plant.
You're going to need to encompass the plant with light not just hang it above the plant.

There is definitely a lot of stretching which indicates that she really wants more light. You'll get less yield but you can get decent weight with small amounts of light. If you get the budget add more.
I was thinking of mounting the 60w to the side and rotating her everyday but also have another set of 4 in the same kind of frame so going to ask is it possible to put the lights on a angle so both are facing the plants. As I said this is just a test dummy so trying new ideas for cheap and great full for all advice given

Try to put light all around her!
The light you have mounted above will only give you usable light for the plant 6" away from the lights.
Yes get as much light around the plant that you can.
If you have to mount it at an angle then so be it.
Yes my math was wrong. You have 4w more than I mentioned.

Well looks like she's turning into a male 
sad to see her go but ill leave it for a couple days just to make sure. Hope my seeds come this time, waiting on a resend lol till then I got heaps of test dummy seeds but just sucks investing time and money I don't have on shit I can't do anything with.
