Puberty: Usually once you reach 18 years old or have passed your growth spurt. You will also have body changes appropriate for adults.

The end of puberty: can be determined in several ways. A bone age study is a hand xray which looks to see whether the growth plates are closed. If open, then there is more growth to occur. Another way to determine is by monitoring secondary sexual characteristics such as testicular size and pubic hair development using the Tanner staging system. Google search to see a chart.
