Thanks, Ben, BT and everyone else. I'll definitely return the favor by posting the rest of my experience and results (I expect to test early next week). As of now, I took my second home test this a.m. I used "First Check", the one only for THC since that's all I may potentially have in my system (which is a diff brand than I used for my first test 2 days ago).

I went to bed at 10:30 after not drinking any unusual amounts of any liquid, but I woke up a little after 2 a.m. and had to pee. No way was I gonna stay up and test and I knew I'd have to go again later anyway, so... back to sleep. I woke up a little before 6 and was able to go more than enough to pass the "minimum" line in the pee cup and after 5 min. the result showed negative (it was a faint line and a broken line, but the manual clearly states that this is a negative same as a darker line that is not broken).

So that's two tests this week -- one at night after a lot of liquids, one first thing in the a.m. with no liquids -- and both show negative. Which makes me think I should be ok without subbing as I was considering, but I will still use dilution for sure.

The ONLY thing that worries me still a bit -- and maybe you can comment BT -- is a couple of reviews I've read of these home testing kits. Can't find 'em now but I distinctly recall one where a reviewer said "Thanks for nothing. I took this and tested negative, so went into my drug screen with a false sense of confidence and FAILED." Someone else came behind that reviewer and said "The test didn't fail, it just isn't designed to test to lower levels of THC. The employer you tested for probably tested to lower levels than this home kit."

To me that makes sense but I know you BT (and others) have said that's not really so and that the home kits are pretty much equivalent to what is used at screens, but I guess hearing the contradictory info is keeping me from feeling really confident.

I will definitely dilute some and compensate with B2 and Creatine supplements from GNC because I figure the worst that SHOULD happen there is they tell me it's too clear and make me go again. Assuming these home kits are accurate I SHOULD be able to pass just by drinking a fair amount of water and being sure they don't get my first void of the day which of course is easy enough, but I'll dilute more than that just to be sure.

Anybody got any thoughts? I was initially thinking of subbing and only using dilution as a backup plan but these home tests make me think I should be ok just diluting.

As a reminder: I've had 4 hits since Aug 16: two around 9/1 and two more on 9/7. So I'll have been totally clean for 9 days come pee time and clean except for 4 hits for ~ 30 days; prior to that I smoked 3-5x week, usually 1-2 hits from a one-hitter and only occasionally (once a week or every other week) would I indulge in 5-6 hits to really bake.

Thanks everyone!
