I’m going to keep doing this for another 4 months and then decide whether or not to switch to hanging.
Too much length gain too soon, assuming it’s possible, is far too risky for the dorsal nerves. They will always be struggling to catch up with the ligs as far as adaptation goes. You are lucky you can still feel your knob after such rapid lengthening.
With hanging your not necessarily gaining, your deforming your ligaments. Its not like stretching your tunica which manual stretching does a lot more than hanging. Its a different world. But really, when hanging your not going for a lot of weight, your going for lig fatigue. But many hangers don’t get fast gains, its the obsession and consistency that produces gains. I started with very low weight like half a pound, than gradually worked up to 5 pounds.
So if you decide on hanging, its important to read everything you can in this forum to stay safe. Very low weight is better than no weight at all just so you can get used to how your ligs feel when stretched. If your doing manual exercises for length, you should be familiar on how your unit works, so it might be time to take the next step.
