Does Caffeine Powder really do anything to growth?

I've heard that caffeine powder can speed yield, don't know if I've been Bullshitted or not any experienced growers wanna shed some light on this?
-------------------- What are we but cosmic dust drifting through the ever expanding ocean that is the Universe? There is no point to our short consciousness but to enjoy what the universe provides, for it alone has a point for existing. We float aimlessly in the vastness of creation. Our existence is transient. The Universe, however, holds a profound purpose. Trapped within the cosmic bubble, we are fated to participate in its never-ending cycle.

I believe this thoery has been disproved by serious seasoned elders. Stick to half strength coffee soaks for mediums and avoid coffee grounds until you've a good grip on sterility because it contams easily.

Mycelium breakdown caffeine into nitrates (N) and energy (C-H-O). In terms of mutation the same rules as mycelium sustained on sugar. Nothing wrong with it in a varied substrate, however as the main source of energy, not a good idea.

I agree with cronicr. You can also get caffeine powder, easy to add to casing.
