First, I am 39 years old, 5'9" and approximately 225 lbs with a slow metabolism. I last smoked just over 2 weeks ago, but it was VERY good quality hashish, and the week before that some excellent Hydroponic weed. I would say that before that I was a regular user for several months.

Two days ago, a great company offered me a very prestigious and well-paying job, and to my surprise, the entire interview / offer process was VERY quick (we're talking from start to end in just over a week). If I am lucky, I might be able to stall for another week. I am hoping to use this week to prepare myself and hopefully get the dilution method working.

To help with my preparation, yesterday I purchased two (2) THC home-tests from CSV, as well as about 1-dozen each of the Home-Test Strips and 'Adulteration' test strips from a good online source (paid a little higher price for what I hope is better quality). I am expecting the bulk test strips I ordered online to arrive either tomorrow (i hope) or Saturday (worst-case).

---- WHAT I HAVE TRIED SO FAR

Yesterday, I tested my first void using a home THC test from CSV--FAILED! ...i was not surprised, but I wanted to get a 'worst-case' base-line just to see what would happen without any preparation. Nevertheless, I had half-hoped that I might, by some miracle, actually pass without any dilution...no such luck!

---- SO, TODAY
I followed the N2 Dilution method to the letter, but when I tested myself with my second CSV home-test, with COMPLETELY CLEAR urine, I still did not see that T-Line (Failed Again).

---- NOW I'M STARTING TO PANIC
Now, at this point I haven't even concerned myself with creatinine clearance, PH, specific gravity or color (although I did take vitamins because I am trying to figure out how long it takes for my urine color to change). So, what I am trying to do at this point is just prove that dilution works for me using the N2 quantities of water (if it doesn't work with water, other liquids will NOT make a difference)--any other liquid such as Gatoraide/Poweraide, Cranberry Juice, Pepsi, Green Tea or Coffee only matters because it helps as a diuretic, or to increase specific density by providing electrolytes, etc, but in the end it's WATER that dilutes the Urine, not some 'exotic' ingredient included in any other liquid solution.

--------MY NEW PLAN :thumbsup:
I am starting to consider substitution method. My biggest fear is that someone will observe me trying to make the switch, and my second largest fear (naturally) is that I will screw up the temperature because it's so sensitive and the range is relatively tight...Fortunately, I do have some time to practice. My thought is to keep working on the Dilution, because no matter what, I want to be as dilute as possible, just in case something goes wrong (fluid container ruptures, heat pad doesn't work right, staff watching like a hawk, etc). In the 'worst-case' I would probably end up with a negative-dilute, but that's better than failing, and in the best-case scenario, I successfully substitute. Fortunately, I can use my father's Urine, which makes this VERY convenient. Nevertheless, I am still a bit 'paranoid' about substitution, but if I cannot get dilution to work (and then adulteration on top of that), then I have to be prepared to substitute as best I can.

-----------------------
Sorry for the long-winded post, but I wanted to show where I am at, what I have studied/learned about the process, and what I am doing. I am hoping that someone can help provide me some advice with what might be going on with my dilution failures and offer me some suggestions. I am going to keep trying by increasing fluid levels and frequencies and within the next couple of days focusing on the adulteration strips as well, but in the meantime, I just wanted to seek out some GOOD advice from the regulars on here.

PLEASE, DO NOT RESPOND with B.S. concerning Jello, Niacin, Soaking my Penis in Bleach, Drinking 2 Gallons of Vinegar or any of that crap. I completely understand how Dilution works and am only interested in perfecting dilution and/or substitution. But I would REALLY love to get my dilution working as no matter what, if I can get that working, I would be able to pass....

...P.S. I love smoking marijuana, but I can assure you that if I get through this process, I will never smoke marijuana again as I know for certain that it affects my judgment in a way that makes it difficult to provide security for my wife and children. I'm not saying it's bad, I'm just saying that it's not responsible given the socio-economic implications of MJ use....I'll miss you MJ but I'd miss my wife and Children more!
