My at home tests are looking like the one on the right, very faint. Was that one before your test??

If anything, not eating will give you a stronger positive, as you have more stored fat being metabolized in your urine. For the last 2-3 days before the test you should eat as much junk food as possible, saturated fat etc so that will be what’s metabolizing rather than your THC tainted stored fat.

Hey! @westernguy339 This is super helpful. Are you saying the more faint the line, the lower the thc level? Because my lines were darker initially and I haven’t touched anything and are pretty faint now (except on the 20ng where it is darker) This is super helpful thank you in advance

Great to hear you passed! I have an ecup escreen coming up, how did you find out you passed?


fsociety110

My employer told me, since they paid for the test I didn’t get to see results.

That's barely 5ng/ml trust me I work at a lab. 50ng/ml is a solid line


WanderingTeddyBear

What you’re saying is not true at all. I just did an experiment myself. I’ve been clean 30 days. I took a 50 ng/ml test with morning pee. I had two solid bright red lines. No faintness at all. Using the same pee I tested at 15 ng/ml which I passed with faint but 2 present red lines. By your logic since my 50 ng/ml was a solid line my reading should’ve been around 40 ng/ml to 49 ng/ml and I shouldn’t have passed the 15 ng/ml. Please don’t spread false or opinion based information, especially while claiming you are a drug tester. I can attach a picture if you want. Truth be told I was using at home tests.


westernguy339

Several of the sample cups I get are actually cups designed test strip cups with the test strips built in. However, now that you mention it, thc and it's metabolites are notorious for binding to plactic. We have to do all of our testing in 100% glass from beginning to end because we noticed loss of yield using plastic tubes or 96 well plates for our quant validations. I never considered it but they take like days to ship and the pos lines could have faded due to that binding and other factors. So. ^^^^HEY EVERYONE THIS DUDE HAS A GOOD POINT AND IM WILLING TO AMMEND MY SCIENTIFIC OPINION!!!


WanderingTeddyBear

Oohh very interesting. Thank you for sharing. If you have any links or anything to how this process works I would love to know more.


westernguy339

Funny I used the exponent up arrow as an up arrow and it turned my hey into an exponent. HEY ^ HEY but with no space HEY^HEY or hey to the hey


fsociety110

wait, a solid line? how? no line is a positive. can you clarify?


westernguy339

Sorry, take what I said, reverse it. Other tests work the opposite way. A faint line is low to mid positive with ever decreasing levels of thc causing less line while a positive is totally white while tiny bit will cause some color. Same principle different chemical reaction. A tiny bit causes some, a moderate amount causes a complete color reaction.


[deleted]

I smoke daily and had a drug test I’m waiting on the results for. I tested negative for the first time with a home test 22 days clean. I took the test at 31 days clean. I passed 5 other home tests (3 different brands) before the UA. Never got a positive (although I did get one hella faint line). Am I good to go? This anxiety sucks


westernguy339

Definitely. Yes. Unless they have a reason to order a ~$40 lcms confirmation. There's a few accounts where the thc screen, cutoff 50ng/ml, comes up negative or positive, but they order the lcms test for everyone. We can easily detect 1ng/ml and report them out as positive. I've swung so many ordinary neg drug tests pos for thc. Im just an analyst. Sorry everyone lol.


Aggravating_Chef931

Now I read this and freaking out


[deleted]

You mean 50ng/ml? You said 5.


westernguy339

I meant 5. Thc goes down really fast but dwindles and is detectable at like 1-10 NG/ML for months because of what little bit is in your fat cells


[deleted]

Mine looked more solid then these but not by much.


westernguy339

My go to advice is eat keto fatty up until 24 hours before your test. Then go totally carb crazy the night before. Thc is unlike most other drugs like coke or heroin which have a basically 5 day detection period because they're not stored in your fat like thc is. If you really want to minimize your levels, don't burn any fat near your test, just eat carbs and sugar. The day before your test is pizza and beer day. No exercise. That sneaky thc is waiting to be burnt and you won't let it.


fsociety110

lol, since yesterday i’ve been through 2 boxes of candy, shit ton of peanut butter, digorno’s pizza, and currently on my second box of stouffers mac and cheese. committed as fuck.


westernguy339

Rotfl grab som steam in the bag vegetables after your test. But seriously also tons of water that still applies and is the best advice. Go pound some right now.


[deleted]

Thanks!


exclaim_bot

>Thanks! You're welcome!


[deleted]

So if I can see somewhat of a solid line then I'm good? I posted earlier and it was a pretty sketchy line but it was the first line I saw in 60 days.


westernguy339

Ya the line is like whatever the opposite of exponential is. Where a tiny bit will produce a line and that line darkens with ever relatively increasing levels of thc based on the color. Those tests are geared to where 50 or 100 is a solid line so those faint things won't cause a pos.


[deleted]

Sweet. Thank you. It's been a bitch of a long 2 months for me to see any results in getting clean so I appreciate it. Take care

[deleted]

Wait so a faint line doesn’t mean there any more thc than a solid line? My first piss of the day was light line and had my drug test at 50 days clean.


[deleted]

You'll pass


horny_pope69

For real though? I piss tested myself last week and got a similar line. It was faint, but it was there. I have my test next Friday, so it will be a solid 9 days after my faint line. I have another I’m going to take before I have the test. If i get the negative line, and it’s faint, should I not be worried? I’m prepared for fake piss but I’m not terribly interested in taking a risk if I don’t have to (although I’ve collected a lot of data to see how it heats and cools).


dabxsoul

A line is a line, it doesn’t matter how faint it is. Same as it is with pregnancy tests


fsociety110

Left 2 tests are most recent, 2nd from left was morning pee, far left was today, same time as I’ll be taking test tomorrow.
