I think you’ve gotten the wrong impression. Advanced exercises are not inherently better. It’s a necessary step up when the basics stop working and as such should be avoided for as long as possible. As someone just starting out, it should not be your goal to get to do advanced stuff. The longer you can stick to jelqing, the better.
Additionally, after just 30 days, you can not be considered “conditioned” for anything yet. Nor should you expect to gain much in such a short time frame. 1/5th in length is a very good result.
If you want to maximize your gains in the long run, stick to what you’re doing for as long as you’re gaining even the tiniest amount.
It’s okay to play around with the durations. For instance, if jelqing is getting a little tedious, you could take a week off and “deload” to 10-15 minutes and start working up towards 30 minutes again.
If you’re only interested in girth gains and don’t want to gain any more length, it’s also okay to stop stretching - that should not hurt your jelqing progress.
Patience is key in this hobby. If you absolutely must do something riskier, you should at least go through the recommended 3 months of the newbie routine first.
edit regarding jelqing at higher erection levels: On one hand, it does create an overall increase in pressure. On the other hand, it’s quite likely that the deformation of the tunica around your fingers is a big part of why jelqing seems to work so well. This aspect will be limited greatly when you get too erect. 50-80% is a good range to stay in.
