You didnt answer my earlier question: What part of the day did you take that home test?
Anyway, as I already stated, a faint line is still a negative. If the faint line can be photocopied, its a line. I did not see your picture because it was taking way too long to load on my system.

Exactly. Drinking liquids is only helpful on the day of the U/A. Drinking liquids days or weeks before the test is useless. It may cause frequent urination, but it has no effect on the filteration rate of THCA from the bloodstream by the kidneys.
THC is stored in your fat cells. You cannot "wash" THC from your fat cells with liquids like you can wash dirt from a car. THC remains stored in the fat cells until the fat cells are burned for energy. When fat cells are burned, the stored THC becomes metabolized into THCA and is released back into the bloodstream. The kidneys then filter the THCA from the bloodstream and deposits them in the bladder. This is the main reason why THC carries a longer detection period than other types of substances.
The purpose of drinking liquids is to dilute (thin out) the THCA concentration thats present in the bladder - enough for the urine sample to register below the cutoff thresholds of the drug screen. As I stated before, the effects are only temporary - once all of the liquids consumed had been urinated out, a "dirty" donor will resume testing positive for THC.

Start exercising so you can burn fat cells. Then check your efforts 3 days before your scheduled U/A by home testing yourself, using the first urination of the day. If this test is positive (no line whatsoever) then stop all exercise at once and be as lazy as possible the next three days so you wont release a bunch of THCA into the bloodstream, which will end up in your urine to be detected. And at the same time, start your creatine-loading in preparation to use the Dilution method, which is posted step by step in the stickys of this forum.

Only a home test would give you an accurate answer to that question - far more accurate than guesswork from others.
