Turns out that even by using HGH, you are unlikely to exceed your genetic potential height.
The only use for it really is GH deficient people. Most teens (99% of all of you) are not GH deficient so it seems to be rather useless for height.
A 5-year analysis of GH treatment in children with IGHD, MPHD, SGA, or ISS showed significant height SDS gains (1.6–2.1), but outcomes approached—not exceeded—genetic height potential (defined as mid-parental target height), with corrected HSDS improving toward the target
www.sciencedirect.com
Meta-analyses for SGA (4 RCTs, 391 kids) and ISS (10 studies, including 3 RCTs) found modest adult height gains (~4–5.7 cm over controls), but these reduce deficits rather than surpass genetic predictions; response is variable and smaller than in GH-deficient cases, with no high-quality evidence for exceeding potential in non-deficient kids.

Also clinical guidelines confirm that in healthy children with normal GH levels, exogenous HGH does not boost final height beyond genetics and risks side effects like accelerated bone maturation.
Those jesters on tiktok didn't take hgh whilst it was being gatekept, they're just trying to scam you into buying their shitty course. Realistically, HGH is useless unless you have a GH deficiency which is unlikely.

Attaining genetic height potential: Analysis of height outcomes from the ANSWER Program in children treated with growth hormone over 5 years
This study aimed to assess attainment of genetic height potential after long-term growth hormone (GH) treatment in GH-naïve children diagnosed with is…

The Rationale for Growth Hormone Therapy in Children with Short Stature - PMC
Growth hormone (GH) was first isolated from cadaver pituitary glands, requiring laborious and expensive collection of glands, followed by extraction and purification of the hormone. This limited supply restricted its use to children with severe GH ...
