You're exactly right. The amount you grow and how long it lasts depends on how much of various hormones are released. For example, the amount of human growth hormone will determine how much muscle you develop and how tall you get. The amount released generally starts to drop around the age of 25, when your bones stop growing (so keep munching on calcium :P).
You can determine how much HGH is released, but only minimally and usually when you lift weights, which probably isn't all that helpful for yourself.
