No: Height is genetically determined, at your age you're probably all set, 177 cms is tall enough, enjoy your life

No: Transient (tiny) measured increases in length by stretching, exercise, hanging upside down, etc will disappear after you stand up and gravity exerts its normal effect.Linear growth stops when the growth centers close toward the end of puberty.In males this is usually by 17.
