i would worry more about algae taking over. i had a 4.5 day blackout in th ewinter and when the power came back on i had terrible algae issues which i have only recently gotten all sorted. id save the worry and buy a timer...it;ll be cheaper than replacing all your plants in the long run. i think i got my timer for something like $7 from walmart...just look in the lighting section in the household goods...theyre cheap.

I just use one timer and then a multi plug kind of obvious but I have seen quite a few people that buy 3 timers all set to the same timing.
