Not recommended as the height growth if at all need not necessary to be equal. If you still want to try do it in consultation with a endocrinologist. For females around 11-12 years and males probably 14-16 years after checking the state of epiphyseal growth plate.

After completion of growth, the growth plates of bones are also closed. Hormones will NOT increase height after that. GH helps only if there is deficiency during childhood.
Taking GH now wont change anything. May have negative effects
Health Tips
Use of hormones is dangerous and may have many side effects. You should meet an endocrinologist if you still want to pursue any specific treatments.
