Masturbation doesn't have any effects on height growth.
But, excess masturbation is harmful. Once in a week or 10 days is fine.
Height growth depends on genetic and other factors like diet, illness etc. Height growth post 18yrs is difficult.

No it will not affect. It is a natural phenomenon.
But excess of everything is bad.
For height gain I can advise you some important lifestyle modifications
