Hey, guys!

Since moving my lemon tree inside, it’s lost over half its leafs. First picture is from October 8th and the second picture is from today, October 28th. Any advice?

At first I was over watering and I have cut back and am feeling the soil to determine if it needs watered. I also was originally doing a 12 hour light cycle, but have changed to 8 hour.

Any advice is appreciated!! Thank you, all!

I do not have a lemon tree but I think you may need to place your lights closer to the plant. I have a bop in a windowless office and the lights are placed a few inches away for 12 hours and she is very happy. Plant could also be throwing a fit from being over watered. Good luck!

Thank you! I will try moving the lights closer to the plant!

Lights need to be a lot closer. I suggest only a few inches above the plant.
