TacoHerder said: extension cords are not rated for continuous use. your wires would at least need to be 6g for the amperage drop.
That's not correct. If the extension cord is sized properly, it will carry the load 24/7. There's also no amperage drop. Amps are the same throughout any series circuit. We size long cables larger to prevent voltage drop.
However, running a three phase motor on single phase power uses more than nameplate amps on the single phase line. The phase converter is using capacitors to 'create' a third phase. Power draw(on the single phase line) is +/- 150% of the motor nameplate rating. If for example, the motor nameplate rating says the motor will draw ten amps, count on drawing at least 15 amps from the single phase extension cord. RR

thats prob one thick extension cord to prevent amp drop. Im use to having to add power whips where people ran standard 14g extension cords as a constant power source. And then they would even run them in and thru the walls to power up their entertainment equipment.

Ok Guys! I did the math on all of this
The motor is a 3 hp 3 phase 220, 10amp electric motor.
The Rotary 3 Phase converter I bought is a 7.5 hp rotary converter, it uses a 7.5 electric motor to create the third leg.
I sized all of the wires according to the directions that came with the phase converter. It is on a 50amp circuit, 6awg from the breaker to a junction box which then tees to a 10 awg which is only 3 feet to the rotary phase converter. It then goes to a plug, the 100ft extension cord is 10/4, and is good for up to 250V and up to 30 amps, which is triple of what it needs to be.

This is the cord I bought.
I put it together just fine..
The motor is rewired and now I'm going to clean the gear box and reattach it. I'll get pictures and possibly a video clip of it running when I'm done.

Thanks!
I need to do some more work on the grow room
BUT, The mixer works PERFECTLY!
I mixed up an entire Toyota pickup truck load of horse manure today.
The motor ran so smooth and didn't EVEN bog down, like it was empty.
This thing is going to help me out tremendously. I'm so giddy with excitement.
I know... I need to take pictures.

Cryogenicz said:The carport frame will be overlaid with 1 layer of 4 year white greenhouse film, and then a layer or two of R-13 wall insulation and then another layer of white greenhouse film. This will insulate the grow room while climate is being controlled.
Climate control will be controlled by ventilation cycles. (summer months)During the night when temperatures are low, ventilation will be adjusted to turn on till the inside temperature reaches the temperature outside. During the day very few air exchanges will occur in order to retain the cooler temperature obtained during the night.
(winter months) Heating will be obtained in the opposite fashion of the summer months. More air exchanges will be run during the day, at the hottest time of the day to obtain heat during the day, and at night, minimal air exchanges will be used to retain that warm air.
A common way to insulate greenhouse type structures is to have a double poly layer which is kept inflated using a blower. They shoot for a gap of about 4" between the layers. Instead of putting insulation between the layers, you will save money on climate control by inflating it with a small blower and creating a dead air space. Another thing to consider-in winter you would need very little heating if the double poly layer were clear instead of white. In kansas we are able to grow certain crops 12 months out of the year in 'high tunnels' with no supplemental heating. In fact, it is often necessary to cool the high tunnels by opening them up during the day in the dead of winter.
So if you have a clear double poly setup, it will require very little heat in the winter, and in the summer you could put some shade cloth over it to reduce cooling costs.
here is an excellent resource http://www.hightunnels.org/ForGrowers/Film%20Plastic/usingfilmplasticfaq.htm
edit: also, in oregon, snow is a major thing to consider. With a double poly setup, you simply turn off the blower to deflate the 2 layers, and the heat from inside the structure will melt the snow as soon as it makes contact. This would save you the headache of manually removing snow to prevent the collapse of the structure.
That was very informative! Though I have no intent to build any sort of structure in the foreseeable future, I'll remember that

What a great read and such interesting information. What ever happened? It just suddenly cut off with you saying tragedy struck and nothing since. This was probably one of the most interesting threads I've found in the gourmet section!

If you dont mind me asking, are the filters on your spawn bag a strip of filter patches or is that a single filter?
I have never seen a 20lb bag of spawn so i'm quite curious how you make the bags!
