What can I do to stimulate growth?

How fast you grow hair depends on your genetics. The average person grows about half and inch a month (6 inches a year). There are claims that massaging the scalp (to stimulate folicles) may help, but I do not believe there is any proof.
I think the best way to grow your hair fast is to keep it as healthy as it can be. Take vitamines to keep the strands strong (so they don't break) use high quality products (don't dry out the hair) and treat your hair gently (again so it doesn't break).
Good Luck

The speed at which your hair and nails grow is pretty much set in stone. However, you can get the best quality of growth with good hydration and good nutrition. Don't do a lot of processing to your hair such as hair colors, perms, straighteners, etc. Use a high-quality conditioner such as Pantene, and use the low setting on your hair dryer. A friend of mine told me that taking fish oil supplements would make my nails stronger and longer (which it did) but it has also improved the strength of my hair.

I use Nioxin shampoo/conditioner and the corresponding supplements with them (similar to prenatal pills).
It has menthol and cooling ingredients to stimulate the scalp, promoting growth. It feels amazing and when I am consistent with using it my hair shoots out of my head. Good luck =).

I know it seems counter-productive, but make sure you get it trimmed every 6 weeks as it encourages growth and gets rid of split ends which will hinder growth.

trim JUST the bottom of your hair I used to have hair up to my shoulders but in four months my hair was almost as long as Rapunzel's!

you can take pre-natal vitamins. I've been taking them for a couple months now and can definitely tell a difference!!
good luck!! :)
