rubbing alcohol will not allow the plant to grow very well but, regular water will let the plant grow. So the plant with regular water will grow taller and faster then the plant with rubbing alcohol. After about 5 weeks then the plant will start to die.

Yes, it is harmful to water plants with rubbing alcohol. If you water it as a seed, it will stunt seed germination and prevent it from growing. Whereas, if you water it as a full grown plant, it will eat away at the waxy coating of the plants leaves eventually destroying the plant
