An incondescent bulb will not be enough light or the proper spectrum to allow for growth. It will stretch badly, you wanna use at least a 2 bulb 4 foot shop light using cool white bulbs. Some use CFLs too, I havent used these before.

It will sprout, light isnt needed for that, the light becomes important after its above ground. Ther stretching will start fast though after it breaks the surface, so you want light on em a little before it does.

for starters how big is the space ure going to grow in ? once the plant sprouts u wanna make sure u got those cfls within the first 2 days , u wanna go for the type of cfls called daylight , look on the pack for 6500 k , or 6400k and yeah they can be called energy saver bulbs , get at least 2-3 for 1 plants when u start out then get more later
