Have you tried micro looping?
I think not having recon can get tricky. Sometimes it can seem like you don’t have recon when in reality you’ve loaded up your processing queue so much you don’t get to the actual execution stage. Other times yes it is full loops without recon for some reason. But I’d say if you’re not seeing the results you want and you’ve run it for months it sounds like you might actually benefit from microloops.
I often compare it to a buffer period. Higher exposure = higher buffer period which means longer length where you won’t feel recon until you take a relatively long washout to have things settle. And the way exposure stacks on these subs is weird. It almost feels exponential at times vs linear so that time scale gets wonky and unpredictable.
