Hi, i've already asked about this a while ago, i'd like more answers. can i grow taller after 17? i was already 6'1 at the age 14, didn't grow since.

Unlikely: You state you have not grown since age 14 but want to grow more. Be realistic, growth can be slower or faster but when it stops is usually done.An x-ray of your wrist and hand can identify any growth potential you might have, but if those growth centers have closed, you are finished.
