Power outage problems

So we just had put first snow this year and along came the power outage.
Does anyone use or have recommendations for a back up generator. Or do you just let it ride till the power come back on

If you are growing photoperiod plants a good generator would be a good idea. Depending on your lighting though it might take a very good one. You also have to consider temperatures. If your power is out for quite a while it might get too cold. With autoflowers I don't think you would need to worry about the lighting much, just the temperatures.
