Unlikely to happen: You are most likely to reach your tallest potential height by following a healthy diet, getting appropriate sleep & and remaining physically active.Nothing you eat or drink will add inches.You can stunt your growth by the opposite, poor diet/sleep/inactivity can all take a toll.If the growth centers in your bones are open you may grow taller, but at 17 they may be closing, with growth ending.

Mission impossible: How tall a person will be , you are programed, depends on genetic make up of genes you inherited from your parents, your growth plates in your bones(long) will b e closing in short couple of years, sorry you may grow an inch or so but not 6 inches. Growth hormone is for specific diseases not for your purpose.
