Pre employment screen-2 dilutes but I get another chance
Background-I'm an occasional smoker-maybe once a month. However, August I was in-employed and had a birthday and vacation mixed in, so I smoked once a week up until September 6 being my last smoke with 2 hits from a bowl.
On September17th I had a surprise u/a as part of my screening process. I had literally just used the restroom while waiting for the HR supervisor, so they had me drink while I was filling out paperwork-gave me money for the vending machine even. I had 2 cans of soda and then remembered I had a water bottle in my bag, drank it and refilled it twice. Then the tester said-oh wait but not more than 40 oz. well, too late it was about 100 oz at that point. Obviously my sample came up dilute. At first the HR director said, that was her fault because she made me drink and so she wouldn't make me take it again. Well, she changed her mind and set up another test for September 24th. In the meantime I took 2 home tests which both showed up negative. I was pretty confident from reading here that I'd have no problem passing the u/a. So I drank a bunch of water and Gatorade the day before-not excessive, probably 100 oz total the entire day. Then I stopped in the evening and the next morning I took a different brand home test with my first void, and I got a negative line. Super confident at this point. I had a cup of coffee, and one glass of water , peed 1 more time and went to the test. It was yellow, not clear so I had no worries. Well....it came back dilute. The employer was ready to retract the offer and move on, but thankfully I know folks high up in the group and they lobbied to get me another chance with a more advanced screen at my own expense. I will have been clean 24 days by my next test. and I swear to God I may never smoke again. Just not worth it.
So here's my question. I have some pretty high people going to bat for me. I will effectively lose all credibility and may as well move from this small town if I fail this test. It sounds like it will be a gs/mc screen at $85. Does that sound right? Since I've been passing home tests for 2 weeks, I should be able to pass a gs/mc-right? Is there a chance this could be a hair test? Not worried about blood as I've read that will detect THC even shorter period of time. Thoughts and advice are welcome. I CANNOT have another dilute test!!!!! I was careful not to have a dilute the second time, idk wtf happened.

This test is tomorrow and I'm a little worried about the gc/ms test at day 25. Thoughts anyone?

What is it about the GC/MS that worries you?

I'm concerned that I won't pass. Or that I'll have another dilute. If I pass home tests, will I most likely pass the GC/MS?

By reading the thread below, you'll discover that a 50 ng assay screen (in which the home test functions on the same principle as) is functionally equivalent to the 15 ng GC/MS:
