No, they won't work, buy CFL's.
You need high intesnsity LED's, those are not them. You would need like 300 of them all concentrating on the plant. And you need a blue and red spectrum that has a very specific wavelength. Believe me, you are not gonna save anything with this project. Stay with the tried and true until you have a budget to experiment with.

Here is all the info you need about CFL's
