Only select strains earn a place in Proper’s genetic library. Inside every genetic cross lives a spectrum of possibilities: structure, aroma, potency, color, and terpene expression. A pheno hunt is the process of finding the one—a single expression that rises above the rest and earns its place on the shelf.

Our Higher Standard

From the moment a seed is popped, we control every variable: light, humidity, nutrients, water, and harvest timing. This level of obsession allows the genetics to fully express themselves—so when we evaluate a pheno, we’re seeing the plant at its absolute best.

A Peek Behind the Scenes


Pheno hunts are typically kept internal between breeders and cultivators, with decisions made behind closed doors. We’re opening that door and inviting you into the process.

We want to hear about your experience, your preferences, your feedback—because all of it plays a role in what moves forward. By trying one of our Alien phenos, you’re participating in a selection process that most people in the industry never get access to.

Why It Matters

If you were lucky enough to snag one of our Pheno Hunt boxes in October, your feedback helped shape what came next. We took your insights and immediately got to work. Round 1 helped shape what you’re about to experience, now it’s time to crown the next standout. Do you accept the mission?
