Before then usually : Boys are usually done growing around 17 and girls around 16. If someone was a late bloomer it is possible that there might be a little growth left by 18. This would be seen in boys primarily.

I am 22 years old and 6'1 tall. I have been this height since I was 17-18. I read in that some cases, men stop growing for a bit between 16-20, then end up growing a bit more after 21-22. Does a slow growth rate mean my growth plates have closed?
