Just wondering how long it will take to gain 1 inch on my arms.I am doing close grip bench,skull crushers and dips with weight.Also considering doing chin ups with weight. Will heavy negatives help?Would appreciate any tips you can give me or things you have tried to make arms grow quicker. also has anyone had any success with 21's?thanks

It depends on so much factors...the biggest one would be genetic, it can vary from an individual greatly from another. And also it depends on how long you have been training, newbies gain can be fast, but after a certain time it take longer and longer to add muscle mass, also it depend on how you train, eat, rest, etc... so it's impossible to tell you how long YOU can add 1'' to your arms, it can be a few months, or a few years, depending where you are at with all those factors.

But I'm guessing you are pretty new to training if you're asking that(?).

That being said, arms are my 'hard to gain' part, I've tried many, many things and from my experience what work best are back exercises like reverse-grip chin-ups, one arm DB rows, close-grips, dips and skull crushers (as you said) and one thing that make a huge difference is to never forget to work the brachiallis: hammer curls, neutral grip chin-ups and one arm DB row are great to develop that muscle located between the biceps and triceps, by growing it, it will push on bi/tri and make the arm get big much faster. When I began to regularly work this muscle it made a huge difference for me.

Hope it help.

Seems as though you have the right exercises picked. Now just ask yourself "how much food do I need to eat to gain an inch on my arms?"
