Don't blow air into the box, that will just create leaks. Blow air out and leave a hole slightly smaller than the fan as an intake, cover it with a box/flap of plastic/bent piece of ducting to keep light from getting through.
Get the plant in a bigger pot, get the lights good and close (no more than 2" away for fluoro/cfl) and put as many as you can in there, highest wattage you can find.
Check the lumens on each bulb and make sure you have 7-10,000 lumens per sq ft of growing space for optimal light levels (for reference, the sun provides about 10,000 lumens/sq ft on a clear day)
