Tell you what though, this drug testing at work really annoys me; I didn't realise it was so common. Thank God my work are a bit more relaxed and I don't have to undergo this sort of scrutiny into my personal life - in my view it's a complete invasion of privacy, and whether or not you smoke pot or enjoy other recreational drugs is absolutely no business of the employer's, it's whether you are fit, able and competent to do the job, not what you do in your spare time outside of work. If you turned up to work high as a kite fair enough, thats a disciplinary issue, but otherwise they should stay out of your private life. It's disgusting.

Sorry, bit of a rant.....

Amen!
 
I think if you stop this far in advance and drink lots of water and cranberry juice, it'll help for sure, I'm confident that you will pass :)

However, if you can get some clean piss, I might consider using it too. I've never had a job that I've had to get tested for, so I've never been through anything like this, good luck bud
 
So it's been awhile for me as well..... Hey Don hows it going? LOL.. Just wanted to see what you been up to and I can see your quite the busy little beaver...Well keep up the good work...I'll let ya know what I'm up to another time.. been busy as well and things are looking good so far..
 
hi, thanks for all the comments and advice, not been on in a few days,
alls good here, my plants are growing like crazy now. all are in flower so ill take some pics and upload soon, i got a load of seeds sprouted for my 2ltr dwc hempies so will get them transplanted soon, as soon as these big plants are nearly finished ill set up a dwc scrog and give that a try.

thanks for all the info about drug testing, ive not had a smoke since i found out, i only smoked 1 or 2 joints at the most each night so its not like im a heavy user, plus in the uk we mix are bud with cig tobaco so it lasts longer, so i dont think ill have to much to worry about, i think it will be out my system before the test, as they have told me its on the 8th at 08:30am then i have time to sort something out, so my plan is to keep drinking to flush my system, but as thc is an oil based substance this means water is not the best for flushing it out as it builds up in the fat in your body, but im a skinny ass white boy with no fat, plus i keep myself fit by off road biking and long bike rides etc etc, but ill buy a drug test from the chemist a couple of days before and see what that says, if it comes up as a fail then ill need to fake the test, but i should pass as im in no way a heavy user.

its killing me though knowing i got plenty of bud and cant smoke none of it, but i need this job and it pays really well so i cant really fuck this up, i think ill be ok and i should pass the test, i will buy a couple of test kits before the 8th and test using different makes of testing kits to make sure i pass them all just in case 1 test picks it up and the other dont, but if i fail ill use someone elses urine as i think thats my best option, plus its the cheapest and would be easy to pull off, im not sure why their so strict but possibly its due to all drugs been illegal in the UK plus working somewhere that makes top end cars makes it a good target for people to try and rob from, the bloke doing the interview told me they have around 20 brand new cars go missing every year, i cant see how considering their is a security hut at every entrance, you have to get let in one gate before they open the other gate to get out, so i cant see how they pull it off, chances are security are in on it and helping them get them out,

but i do need this job and i do need the money, so i do need to pass this test, all i can do is keep doing what im doing and try and sweat it out with plenty of exercise and drinking lots, hopefully that will be enough to pass the test, ill know when i buy some tests of my own.

i have harvested the 1 auto the auto blueberry, didnt get much off it and after its dry im looking at around 5g dry so not much,

the plants i put pollen on are seed making, all the pistils on the buds have shrunk and died off so i know them buds are making seeds.
so all been well ive managed to keep the ak47 cross uk cherry cheese strain going as i crossed this with the male of the same strain, it was the last 2 seeds i had and i got 1 fem and 1 male so i had to cross to get me more seeds, so its done and i should have seeds in a few weeks.

plus cant wait to see how the auto cross turns out, will be interesting to see if the seeds turn out auto as well,
so its bluematic female cross with ak47 cross uk cherry cheese male, could call it blue cheese, but ill sort names out closer to the time, i will planting the seeds and ill be crossing them back with each other to try and make it a bit more stable, but what ever happens ill be pleased with as its my first time crossing plants,

ill try and catch up with all the journals, but been off here for a few days takes a while to catch back up
 
heya bro. if you want to be certain you have metabolised the remnants of THC in your system then remember to get the blood pumping every day by running or other high intensity excersise.

also a word of warning with harvesting. you CAN absorb THC through the skin from what i can gather, so try to wear gloves or something, it isnt really enough to get stoned, but it might be enough to fail your test.=(
 
thanks for the advice GiGa, i never thought about absorbing it into the skin but i suppose it is possible, im pretty active so get plenty of excercise, i just rode my bike to my moms and that takes me an hour each way so im pretty active most of the time, so i should be ok, ill remember to wear gloves when i harvest my next plant, reps for the info mate,
 
I see your worryed about a drugs test, In the past I got tested monthly for a job and from experiance I only ever tested positive if i had smoked weed 5 days before the test and even then it was borderline positive. If i stopped smoking 7 days before i got tested not once has it gone positive. This is with a piss test.

I've heard the pills and shots that they sell to pass tests are good and really work but back when i was getting tested i didn't know about any of that so just 7 days clean would see me though.
 
thanks for the info, i should be ok as it will be nearly 2 weeks since my last smoke when i take the test so i think i should be ok, plus im only have a couple of joints a night and thats it, so im thinking 2 weeks of no bud should get me to pass the test,
a quick pic update.
below is the buds with seeds in, now its dried out i can see the seeds starting to fall out the seed pods, so ill be collecting these and growing them some time in the future, the pollen went on these 3 buds and all are full of seeds,

2 of the plants below are afgan skunk from clones, the 2 plants with the side by side pics are the afgan skunk clones, the bigger one is the one thats been fed with the fish tank water, the smaller one is tap water, both was taken from the same part of the plant and was both the same size before i fed the one with tank water, i have not fed the other plants with the tank water as i want to see what the buds are like before using it on my other plants, but clearly the tank fed plant is bigger and is further in flower than the tap water fed plant

below is a pregnant ak47 cross uk cherry cheese, i cut all fan leaves off just to see what happens, so far the buds have got fatter and it has not grew any big fan leaves, just a little experiment im trying, its only giving me seeds so im not to fussed as long as i get the seeds

their are plenty of other pics but when i upload them it starts uploading them and kicks me off the net, so i have to upload them 1 at a time which takes ages, ill upload the rest tomorrow cuz its taking way to long, not sure if its my connection or the site, it wont let me upload more than 2 or 3 images at a time, ill try again later or tomorrow,
 
no mate, both pots are the same size, everything i kept the same, same amount of nutes, same amount of water, same temps,lights etc etc, the other pots is a bit lower down in the sink, let me find a better pic and ill post it, give me a few secs
 
here you go mate, the one on the left is the plant i gave tank water to, now i kept everything the same, when i took the clones they was taken from the same part of the plant, they was opposite each other on the mother plant, when i rooted them they was the same size and when they started growing they was the same size, they was the same size when i transplanted them into these bigger pots, the only difference is the left one is given tank water and nutes and the right one is given tap water and nutes, everything was measured and both watered the same,
PICT2660.JPG
 
its perfectly clear that the tank fed plant is doing a whole lot better, both get the same light and temps etc etc, i have not give it to my other plants till i can sample the buds on both them plants, i want to make sure their is no difference in the buds or taste or smell when smoked, if everything is the same and i find no problems then ill roll it out on the other plants.

so the only difference is the tank water, the tap water fed plant is fed with room temp water, all measuered the same, they are both put in dishes when i water them so any run off can be soaked up, so they both get the same all the time, i swap the pots around in the grow room every 3 days or when i water them, i do this to make sure they are getting the same amount of light across the whole of the grow,
 
ive had tropical fish for a while and i use to use water safe when i did a water change and i kept getting white spot on my fish, i then decided to stop using all chemicals and got some big buckets, then i let the water stand before doing a water change then this means i dont need to add any chemicals into the tank, since doing this i have had no problems with white spot or any other fish related problems.

i got a few fish in a tank and a plek that eats the algea and keeps the tank clean, i got a heater that keeps the temp stable and i got a pump that filters the water, and thats it mate, nothing is added to it at all, i use this water to mix with bpn and feed the plants as normal, i do a water change every couple of months and take 1/3rd of the water out and fill it back up, but all ive been doing is dipping a jug in the tank and getting the water out and then i use that to feed that plant,
so their is nothing added to the fish tank water, its just fish food and fish poo my friend and nothing else,
i know the fish poo turns into nitrates and nitrites and its the nitrates that most fertilisers are made from.

my seedlings are getting pretty big now so these will be going into the 2ltr dwc hempies and ill be trying the tank water with 1 or more of the hempies and ill see how they like the tank water as the roots will be in the tank water all the time, so ill see how they cope with it, i wish i had stuff to test what was in the water but i dont, the only stuff i have checks the amonia levels and the nitrates and nitrites, and its not digital either, i add the tank water to some chemicals and check the colour on a chart and it tells me if its safe for the fish or not.

all i put in the tank is standing tap water when i do water change, i feed my tropical fish some tropical fish flakes and they get some peas every now and then but these need to be mushed up and the fish love them, i add plek wafers which is algae wafers for my big plek, so really the water is just full of crap the fish leave behind and poo out,

ill be trying it with 1 or more of the dwc hempies but i did not want to run it out on all my plants till i know for sure that it wont affect the bud quality, i spoke to corey at bpn as i was unsure about adding bpn to the tank water just in case it gave nute burn, corey said i can use it the same as tap water and add bpn at full strength, so to make it a fair test i measure with a syringe the exact amounts of bpn needed for 2ltr of tap or tank water, so i kept it as fair as i can, the compost in the pot is strait out the bag with nothing added to it and it was well broken up to remove clumps, so thats about it mate, its water strait out the tank, when i feed my plants i just fill a jug with the tank water and mix in the nutes then both plants are fed while their in dishes then i leave them to suck the water back up and then the dish is removed, so i kept it as fair as i can
 
my pump oxygenates the water as it filters the water, it blows fine bubbles across the tank from one side to the other and the pump filters all the crap out the water,

what im wondering is this, when i clean the pump its full of sludge and stinks, now im wondering if i squeezed all this sludge out of the filters could this be used as some sort of tea for the plants, i just dont know enough yet about whats in it to make choices like that, i dont want to kill the plants so have not tried that yet, but i clean the pump every 4 to 6 weeks and i get loads of crap out the filters so this sludge might be good for the plants or it might be bad i just dont know enough to risk trying it yet, maybe ill run a test plant and see how the sludge works, but for now the results are pretty good, but till i sample the buds and smell and taste them then i wont be using this on my other plants till im happy its safe and wont affect quality,

for all i know the buds may stink and taste like shit, or it might turn out to be some top shelf bud, but till this plants harvested i just wont know
 
I'am with Gig thats awsome! I think that if you treat the tank water plant like any other that is with a flush of pure water before harvest.
that there will be no difference in flavour or quallity(well maybe quallity to the good side) as the plant will use the stored nutes and give you some tasty nugs.anyway here is a rep for giving it a go!
My wife used to work in a garment factory, there were alot of asian women that worked there and would bring in some of the most beautifull vegtabels that you had ever saw. man the had the best taste,color and size.
but one day my wife had to go to a meeting about the company bathroom. she was the president of the union in her shop.
anyway the complaints were over the asian women going to the bathroom in buckets and then taking it home to feed their gardens.
all I can say is from then on we got our tomatoes from the store. LOL
