    What was the cause of the power outage?

    correct the timing schedule and just carry on growing man,
    it's only a problem if it becomes a regular on/off thing,

    if it's just once or twice i wouldn't worry - just keep growing

    You could get a 3-5 KVA UPS, stores enough power for about 2 hours dependant on load, or a generator as said above. 1st option is silent but more expensive than the 2nd

    Try IT resellers on Feebay for UPS but you will prob. have to buy new batteries...

    Don't go nuts, like was said if it's just a blip here and there not much problem. Ask yourself this question...."Did it extend my 12hr cycle?" and then "Did it shorten my 13+hr cycle?" If the answers to those two questions is no then you're fine. If need be, adjust timers and carry on.
