finally got to press the bottom larf and a bag of tops.i have to say huge difference tops are hard and dont really want to keep the shape as the bottoms do.
after maybe 15 presses machine started going wrong again few runs i managed to fix with a hammer but every soo often it doesnt go straight and i press few drops i honestly hate it.the design is stupid as fuck they could have easily welded the bottom plate to the press and done.

Next run is probably okie x sour and purple queen.i wanted to do a mix of all of them i could fight the random speeds of growth but pots are shared soo that would probably not work when one eats 500 and other 1000....

The press work ( plates )are not centered.
This uneven pull places stress in the direction the screws are NOT made to have. Any torsion load ( uneven unlevel uncentered can cause that to fail in a very spectacular way.
I have zero experience pressing oil but I have 40 plus years pressing bearings, bushings and axles and that is an unsafe setup on your press.
Please be careful.
Center the load.
If it still pulls left or right find out why.
Setup you press for just enough open space to put you weed in there the more compact the forcing screw the straighter your press. You do not want to jack it 8 inches to contact.

Edit**
I would disassemble that press and check the long spring and rods. The right side looks bent onwards but it can be the angle.
You can also use a plumb bob ( that should be hanging on your press for checking ) to look at it.
A line or string and a 1/2 inch nut, a big washer, something with weight to hold at the top of that right side rod assembly and see if the bottom of the string is still in the middle.

soo the bottom plate is "secured" with 2 rods that are connected only to the top but i cant find any screws soo maybe its welded and they move like crazy and since i pressed it wrong they allsoo now have notches that the plate gets stuck to. i allsoo noticed the bottom plate runs away from the press probably because of the same reason. i think they need to be replaced and it would fix all my problems.but i dont know anybody that does that....

i had an idea to remove them compleatly but then the bottom plate is in the air.and that wouldnt be a problem normaly but its really hot to hold it with hands
 
Forum is not as fun when your not growing i think everybody can agree.and i have a long time until my season starts.as of recent most of my friends stopped smoking and its noticable jars are not getting empty at all i managed maybe 3 soo far even with daily smoking. But its allsoo a good thing i can do a seed run and not worry i will run out. My biggest problem still is picking the strains i will smoke next year.i had a crazy idea to grow 6 different strains but i think that would be a mess in 2 pots...

Here is a photo from +speed and epic buzz i gave to my buddy to grow outdoors around a month old i think its showing preflower.weather is shit this year

Finally decided to look at the press found the screws on top and its just 2 rods being held by 2 safety screws and one you could unscrew with your hand.tried to tighten it but the rod turns in the air soo did my best you cant unscrew it with a hand but doesnt feel like its crazy tight i have to get the lube of the bars to get a good grip but thats for the next time.

For now i just turned the rods soo the notches are not in the way and its pressing flat every time for now.dont know if it will change when material comes but i would say fixed for now

Okej made my decision

The real sour will be reversed and polinate the whole box

Top 3 go in to one bucket bottom 3 in the other and hopfully i will manage to polinate each one.
The real sour x okie
Oreoz x okie
Purple boost highness

California haze
White gorilla haze
White diesel

I will try to reverse only half the sour so i can smoke some as well not like last time when i made the whole plant male but i will also not risk it with 1 branch since first time i failed to reverse...
