Could you grow with them - Not really. To start a few seedlings its ok. But, Not worth it. unless you want to harvest 1 gram or something./ Plant dieing in the trying of it.

Incandescents should never be used to grow... The only time you could use an incandescent bulb is to generate a bit of heat if your grow area is too small, but even then you need to put something up to block the light... because it's bad.

I tried it for the first couple weeks. My plant stopped growing leaves but the stem grew rapidly and it toppled over enentualy. I put it on supports and set it out on my roof and the next day the next day it had nuch more foilage than the night before. So no. Incandescent will rape your plant.
