Home safe!! Another phenomenal conference, we are so blessed by Bob, Eileen and and the many volunteers who tireless efforts give our tribe the opportunity to gather like this every year!! It was so very cool to meet sooo many 1st timers who are relatively new comers in this community!. Its amazing how much this thing has grown since my first in Portland 2009! The agenda has become so full of speakers that we need 1 more conference day so it's not quite as busy and we have more time to socialize! I'll post later about the highlights but for now I'm about to go lay on the bed and inspect the back of my eyelids for a couple hours!! DD

Quick update before I pass out!! Great turnout with many new faces!! Had an awesome time at the Presidents reception! I spoke to one of the clusterbusters board of directors (and official conference photographer) this evening and she will submit all of her photos to our Website person so she can make them available to the forum!! And, the film crew isn't coming til tomorrow so they'll actually be filming one of the grow demos that will be included in an upcoming clusterbusters documentary!! Tim made it already and 2 other folks gave up on getting out of the airport, took an uber to greyhound and are on a bus headed this way! And had the pleasure of meeting Freud and FunTimes......but theres severals that I haven't met yet although I know they're here! Looks like we'll easily top 200 attendees....don't think it will break the record but it's a long way from the 40ish bunch of us in 2010!! G'nite ya'll

@dmlonghorn @Brain on fire Tim Flanagan is having issues getting out of Houston bound for big D on Greyhound as well.......a couple others have reported rain delays but are enroute......Freud missed his flight but will be here this evening! Hugged lots of old friends and made some new ones already....lots of first timers which is way cool!!! Just saw Batch when he arrived and got to visit with doc B for a spell Eileen and Andrew were able to get the pdf doc of the grow demos downloaded from my phone and clusterbusters is going to host it so it will be available via a link after the conference.....and.....BobW informed me yesterday that a film crew is coming today to film a run thru of tomorrow's grow demo sessions!! I wish to hell they'd hurry up cuz it's damn sure 5 o'clock somewhere and I'm gettin fairly damned thirsty! Great venue for a conference thus far and Presidents reception coming up shortly!! Since I'm severely technically challenged and have real issues with uploading pics here, I'm going to see if I can get a couple folks to send me their photos to put up on dropbox and will post the link! Later ya'll

G'mornin ya'll! About to start loading up the car and get on the road....expect to get to Grapevine by mid morning!! I went to a 3 day music festival with all Texas bands (ZZ Top was the headliner!) In Grapevine during the summer of '71 but that's another story entirely.....the parts of I can remember anyway...lmao!! Already several folks there and quite a few more getting in this morning!! Safe travels to all and see ya'll soon!!!! DD

G'mornin Ken Just spoke to our conference chairwoman to verify that you can check out an O2 cylinder to take to your room at the Hilton...needs to be returned by Sunday afternoon. DD

Hot damn Brian!! That is some OUTSTANDING FECKING NEWS dude!! When do you arrive in Big D? I'm leaving okieland early Weds morning for my 88 mile journey to Grapevine....all but the first 5 miles of gravel county road is major freeway and tollway driving and I don't even have to go thru the Metromess to get there!! Wooo Hoooo! Almost (but not quite) makes me feel guilty for saying that...lol.....I have two longtime clusterhead friends coming.....Lady A left Scotland for Germany this morning to hook up with Hans and fly on to Dallas.....she's already in the air and they won't get to Big D til early tomorrow!! Yeah, maybe I do feel a little guity!! Stopping along the way to pick up a case of Colorado Koolaid longnecks to go with that pizza!! Safe travels my friend and see ya soon!! DD

G'mornin Clovis! The regulator you have is insufficient for most clusterheads!! When I tried O2 for the 1st time it was with an 8 lpm reg and it wasn't effective! Most of us need a minimum of 15 lpm and many folks use 25 lpm regs. DD

Hey 8! I know several chronics that are having very good results with ketamine nasal spray. From my experiences with the VA that would probably be a hard sell with any of their docs though! When I still relied on the VA for medical treatment they let me have 9 imitrex dose packs per month....are they only giving you the imitrex pills? DD

Hey Ken! Just bring your mask and E tank regulator.....clusterbusters will have O2 cylinders available to check out and take to your room! DD

Clusterbusters will have O2 available Ken! I'll be looking forward to meeting you! This will be my 5th! It's an experience you'll never forget!! Dallas Denny

Welcome to the community Willy!! Sorry you had the need to join us! Good to see that you have O2!! I'd suggest that you clue your doc in on the sumatriptin (imitrex).......for the vast majority of clusterheads the pills just don't work fast enough.....the imitrex nasal sprays work a bit better, but if you have to resort to the use of trex, the best option by far is injections. The best thing you can do in my opinion is read up on the anti inflammatory vitamin D3 regimen in our files section......you can start on it immediately once you have acquired all of the co factors but you will need to have some bloodwork done to establish your baseline levels.......we've watched this regimen work in folks life with ch for closing in on 10 years.....works well for about 75 to 80% of folks to either reduce the frequency and intensity of their hits or become painfree!! The originator of the regimen, Batch, is active on the forum so ask any questions you might have and someone will have an answer! The last option is busting and you'll also find extensive info on that in the clusterbusters files or the share your busting stories section of the forum. Dallas Denny

Woo Hoo!! Sittin on ready and rockin on go BOF!!! Looking forward to seeing old friends again and making many new ones!! Looks like there's gonna be a lot of 1st timers!! As she stated above, if not this year then start making plans to make it happen next year.....the experience of a lifetime for a clusterhead and something you'll never forget!! DD

@Freud Yup, will touch on important points of PF Tek, coir/verm substrate Tek, substrate pasteurization process, dub tub Tek using BRF cakes spawned to coir substrate, growing LC in karo/water via MS inoculation, and drying and storage procedures without using a dehydrator......a lot to try and cover in an hour and a half so I'll probably have to do a separate question and answer session sometime on Saturday if it can be worked in.....I'll be getting to Dallas mid morning on Weds so I can get everything prepped and set up

I'm honored to have the opportunity to share my knowledge and experience during 2 "grow demos" as part of this years conference agenda! I've been working on a PDF file documenting all of the Teks and processes that I'll be presenting for several months now and will be putting the finishing touches on it this next week! I've done it all on my Samsung Note and am too technically challenged to figure out how to transfer it to my laptop in PDF format....but our conference chairwoman has assured me that she'll "git r done" for me when I get to Dallas the day before the conference begins. All that to say this.....if you're planning to attend the conference and want to get the PDF, be sure to bring a thumb drive with you......the doc contains a lot of pics and is extremely large so I feel like that will be the easiest, fastest way to distribute it! See ya'll soon!! Dallas Denny

@BKP Exactly why I never use the term "headache" outside the confines of these online support forums or in the company of another clusterhead! I have a neurological disorder called Trigeminal autonomic cephalalgia which causes extremely painful head and facial pain. And, I also use the brain freeze analogy when describing the pain to a non clusterhead! DD
