Lengthening 3cm is not a good idea. 5-6cm is the safest.
But having a 3cm increase in growth as a child or adolescent makes a huge difference. I hope that people can understand what I mean.
In this context, we are referring to growth as a teenager or child. It is safe to assume that a 3cm increase due to a growth spurt is a significant difference
Extreme stress can severely stunt one's growth, temporarily, until said person is removed from the stressing environment. See:

As for nutrition and lifestyle, I agree with everyone else. It's a small difference, at most - at least between these two last, well fed generations.

Well, I wasn't removed from the stressing environment until my growth plates were officially closed.
Genes have 80% to do with fully grown adult height so do the math. As humans, we'll never really know cause we can't live two lives of the exact same DNA and try one out with a great diet from birth and one out with a ty diet from birth.

Dude PSS is a condition observed in Feral children, who literally grow up with wolves and monkeys outside any human civilization. Or in the cases of wartime / captivity.
No human grows up in a perfect environment with zero stress. 99.999% chance is that you lived up to your genetic potential and just weren’t meant to be taller. A lot of boys grow up to be shorter than their father.
Several inches. But you can make up for those lost inches if you are a late bloomer. I had the tiest diet my whole life up until i turned 18. I was 5'5, weak and skinny as all hell. I started eating alot, injecting high doses of HGH and taking Letrozole on a daily basis. Keeping your estrogen levels very low is essential in making up for lost growth. I went from 5'5 to 5'9 and im almost 21. Still growing. My growth plates have realistically frozen on x rays and my doctor still asks me if i will stop growing after he saw how i managed to grow alot after 18. This goes to show that it all depends on when you started puberty, if your bone age is younger than your actual age and etc. If you started puberty young then you should be done growing by 18 if you were exposed to normal levels of estrogen. The human body has an amazing capability to catch up on growth and delay growth plate fusion, but since estrogen fuses growth plates, it will all depend on if you manage to keep the estrogen levels in your body very low or not.

This might have been true for you but most men don't grow anything substantial after 18 even with HGH treatment.

I grew up with animals, figuratively. What I can assure you that the amount of stress I had was much higher than the average kids and teens have.

It's very likely that you would have turned out, 6 foot 3, broad shouldered and with a pretty large penis and blue eyes, given the proper nutrition, no stress and lots of sleep, during your most crucial development period.

I am pretty broad shouldered for my height and anyone can do shoulder excercises.
I don't need blue eyes.
