What my dad used to buy for me is glutamic acid, not glutamine:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glutamine
An interesting quote from this article:
"Evidence indicates that glutamine when orally loaded may increase plasma HGH levels by stimulating the anterior pituitary gland."
"May". The reference cited is from 1995.
http://www.ajcn.org/content/61/5/1058.short
More recent work doubts the value of L-glutamine supplementation:
http://jn.nutrition.org/content/138/10/2045S.abstract
Also found this
"The pathways linking arginine, glutamine, and proline are bidirectional."
here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L-arginine
This means the body can make arginine from glutamine and vice versa.
So supplementing either one or the other should have similar effects.
However, the dietary sources listed for both L-arginine and L-glutamine are in every boobie diet. So why supplement? Also, when I look at the list of stimulators for HGH secretion here
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_growth_hormone
there's not so much more one can do. Wahaika already suggested to leave the L-dopa alone:

I agree 5-HTP is worth looking into:

Wikipedia also lists "Vigorous exercise". I like Wahaika's exercise (scroll down until you see "Exercise"):

I can do a similar exercise, dumbbell flyes, right here and now.
Almost forgot to update on my program. I did not add broken flaxseed to my boobie porridge last night. I was awake for two hours after eating it, and had a swell.
Morning: multivitamin, green tea.
Evening: microwave porridge (milk, two tablespoons = 2000 mg hops flowers, oat flakes, other cereals, honey, raisins)
I'm surprised the swelling happens so early in the ramp up, and this is all it takes. So I continue to simplify, and take the oats out tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. After that, I'll add the fenugreek.
