The strain's exact origins are somewhat obscure, but it is believed to have emerged from California's cannabis breeding scene in the late 1990s or early 2000s, possibly as a phenotype selection from a larger Citron breeding project. Breeders sought to develop a strain with strong terpene expression and reliable sativa effects, making it a favorite among those seeking daytime relief without heavy sedation.

The flowers typically display a vibrant green color with occasional orange pistils weaving through the calyxes. A generous coating of trichomes gives the buds a frosty appearance, indicative of its potency. The most distinctive feature of Citron 1 is its aromatic profile, which strongly resembles fresh lemons and citrus fruits, often with subtle earthy undertones.

Citron 1 gained popularity in medical cannabis communities for its clear-headed effects and mood-enhancing properties. While not as widely commercialized as some mainstream strains, it maintains a dedicated following among sativa enthusiasts and connoisseurs who appreciate its classic citrus characteristics and reliable effects. The strain is sometimes used in breeding programs to impart its distinctive terpene profile to hybrid offspring.
