Building a Greenhouse

Hi, I just built a 12'8'6' greenhouse with white fiberglass panels, that allow 65% of light and 60% heat. I live in the south so I'm not worried about heat in the winter, but do you think that 65% of the sun will be enough. What I am really asking, would 65% of the sun be better then 2 600w?

I'm also planning on doing hydro, so I'm planning on vegging them up to 2ft tall under the 600s then take them outside (Veg inside flower outside). I have done this with dirt plants in one gallon but I have been upset with yields and maintenance being really high because of the plants being out in the middle of no where and having to go to a river to get water so I decided to make a greenhouse, now I'm worried that the white fiberglass panels won't work as well as I hope, so anybody have any scientific info on how much light 65% of the sun would be, more or less then 600watts?

Turns out the sun produces 130w psf and 65% is 80w psf which is 30w more then my 600w light in a 4*4

I'm looking forward to using my greenhouse this winter, as I just got ripped off on my outdoor grow. I saw two guy 20 yards away looking for arrow heads and didn't think they would take them, I had close to 30 ladies 3-4ft tall a little over 3weeks flowering.
