If possible keep the light close to the plant like an inch or two above it. Use window light as well. Use two different spectrum bulbs or three. I grew lemons in ohio though my plant did a lot better in summer it did ok in winter. Theres a lot more problem with insects when you move a plant indoors generally you have to watch it closely. If you get a a few warm days take it outside and spray it with a hose to get light and a shower or throw it in a bathtub and shower it helps keep away spider mites and such. I kept it outside anytime temps were above freezing basically. But it got big and had thorns. When wet it got too heavy to move seems to lose 100 pounds when soil gets completely dry. Not too heavy bone dry but the sheer size of the plant got to be more difficult. But once its big you have to stop watering it and let it dry out to get light enough to move around.
