In the end I am not worried about passing my test...my at home tests on various voids came back negative, but on test day I was nervous and wanted to slightly dilute to be careful even though it had been 101 days since I last had anything.
The day of my test I had 32 oz of Gatorade and maybe 8 oz of cranberry between 10am-12pm and had breakfast at about 10:30am. I had perhaps 12-16 oz of Gatorade, 8oz fiber drink, and 4 oz of OJ between 12pm and 4pm (test was at 4pm). So 64-68oz total in 6 hours and only 24-28oz in the last 4, instead of loading like crazy toward the end.
I think this is just about an average intake of fluids for me but became concerned I was over doing it b/c N2's method has 64 total oz in 4 hours.
My only real concern is if I diluted myself to trigger a negative-dilute.
At about 1:30-2pm I had two voids that were clear and just about stopped drinking until my test at 4pm out of fear of over doing it.
Tested myself negative on a void where color had returned (about 2:45pm) and took my real test at 4pm where there was natural color (non-vitamin).
...I was not going every 20 minutes and I was not asked to sign/initial any specimen bottles when my test occurred.
