Hi Malice,
Tough question to answer. But if you’ve been at it since at least March, I would think you could certainly increase the number and intensity of the jelqs. Sometimes this works, sometimes it doesn’t. You have to keep experimenting until you hit on a length of session and intensity that shows results.
I stopped counting reps early on and just focused on my body, i.e., penis, and its reaction to my exercises. I’m sure I was doing hundreds of jelqs in one session by the end of the second month. I increased the length of my sessions considerably by the beginning of my third month and made great gains. (That’s when I added the stretches).
But I know there are many here who don’t have the time I have, nor the motivation, so they tend to be more sparing with their routine. If I were you and my daily schedule didn’t allow for more lengthy sessions, I would increase the intensity of my routine. You’ve certainly been at it long enough to do this.
Good luck, pal.

Regarding direction, you normally do the jelq starting at the base of your penis and sliding the “o.k.” grip in the direction of your glans. But you can also reverse this procedure, (depending on where you want to send the blood), and starting just above the glans, slide your grip towards the base. I got great base girth results doing the latter.
BTW, I believe I made length and girth gains both from jelqing. It sure made a difference in my woodies.
