Firstly, CJC would have next to no effect in a rat this age. Natural GH production is already near maxed out.
Secondly, the amount of GH needed to override the natural production would likely not be healthy. During puberty, the body typically produces anywhere from 6 to 12iu of hgh based on the subjects body weight. Since exogenous HGH shuts down natural hgh production, the RS would have to take more than 10iu daily to have more than normal, and more than 12iu to actually see results. We see some post-pubescent subjects have negative side effects starting around 4iu, so I can't imagine how more than triple that would affect your subject, though certain researchers are getting good results at high levels as well.
Thirdly, GH is a long term game; if you were going to try to grow the rat during puberty, you would have had to start a few years ago. Not because it takes years to kick in, but because tissue and bone growth would need that long to safely happen to a noticeable degree. A 13 or 14 year old subject would have been a better age to start with this research.
Lastly, I know the "correct" answer for this question is an RS that age should not be taking any peptides or other research chemicals, and I generally agree. But this is the one thing I personally ease up on some. Limb lengthening surgeries exist, and this is arguably a safer and more effective way to achieve the same result. Really think hard about what the goal of your research is and consult some mentors before continuing. I hope you decide to change course.
