Would it be better to bring it in doors under the grow lights and humidifier or leave the tree outdoors in natural sun

It has been 5 days since my last post and my meyer lemon has completely lost all of the leaves. Since my last post I have replanted the tree in a bigger pot. I have added new soil and the drainage is good. I added some nutrients when I moisten the soil. I have included a picture of what the tree looks like now and a picture of the last leaf that fell. There doesn't   appear to be any browning of  the branches and the last leaf appears to be a good shade of green. I have the taken plant indoors and placed it under a grow light. Am I beating a dead horse or is there a chance that the tree may revive. Any suggestions or comments wopuld be appreciated. Thank you

When I lifted the tree from the pot, I used a small hand rake to clean the roots. I did not wash any part of the tree root. I didn't feel the need to wash it. Thanks for the tip

I purchased the lemon tree about four months ago. It was planted in a one gallon black pot. After about a month I transplanted the tree in a 3 gallon pot. It was doing well until recently when the leaves started to drop.

I have pulled the tree from its pot and the roots appear healthy. I could not see or feel any slimy roots.The roots appear to be firm and white. I have included two photos of the root ball when I removed it from the pot.  When I replanted the tree, I added additional sand for better drainage.

I have just joined the forum. I have a meyer lemon, a blood orange and a calamondin orange. I presently have them outdoors for at least another month. The meyer lemon has begun to lose its leaves. I checked the soil and it is moist to the touch. It has about 13 small lemons and quite a few new flowers(counted close to 30). The leaves are a bright green and some smaller leaves(new growth). There does not seem to be an insect problem. I brought the lemon indoors and placed it in my grow tent with a light and a humidifier. The leaves have continued to fall. I estimate that about 2/3 of the leaves have fallen. I am wondering if removing the fruit and blossoms would help. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Incidentally both oranges plants are doing well outside. Any suggestions would greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance   :
