Depending on the capabilities of your timer, you might want to put the 600w on for an hour/off for an hour or some similar schedule to keep temps down until you can get proper cooling.

Aother option might be to grow your plants at night when the outdoor temps are cooler and have your dark period be during normal daylight hours.
