    Thumbs down Caffeine ~ the other white powder!

    Just wanted to see if any one has experimented with pure Caffeine.
    Not just coffee but Caffeine powder in a substrate.

    like caffeine crystal? or extracted caffeine? or just really finely ground coffee? sounds like it could work, i know others have cultivated on spent grounds, but it seems that feeding pure powder to your sub is asking for contam issues. i am assuming its mixed, if its unpressed, its high in Nitrogen, you wouldnt have to add any poo. whats the sub you wish to mix it with? is there a source for powdered caffeine other than instant coffee or finely ground beans?

    100% Pure White Crystalline Powder Caffeine

    Being a beginner I don't have the skill to test this out, so I was wounder if
    any one has played with it. Was thinking the same thing about the Nitrogen
    benefit. Also with it being pure I would think it would be less containable
    then using coffee, tea leaves as they are organic matter.

    I wouldn't bother.

    Coffee always fucks things up for me.

    Remember the Keep It Simple principle.

    There's a common tendency to over complexify things and its totally not necessary. You want as few factors as possible to fiddle with, then you get better results.

    There's no magic thing that will have you producing 2x as much with 2x as much potency. Just grow or eat 2x as much as you did b4 and you'll be there.
