How to fertilize calamondin tree

Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your calamondin tree after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

It's sad trying to figure out why So my lemon was quite sad when I had to bring it inside for the winter. I'm still working on tuning its water needs so ive got sensors monitoring it. And im trying to figure out the exact rate for the soil that I blended for this tree. As of lately I've been trying to let the tree dry out ive had some browning leaves accompanied by cupping and curling so I gave it more water that seemed to be alright for a bit but after the 2nd watering the plant declined and defoilated,( so I assume I watered again too quickly) and also accompanied by more browning leaves. At that point I let the plant dry out for about 2 weeks. It seemed to do better for a time during the drying out but then it started to have the same issues again. I've since given it a drink. (I should note: during the drying period and since the last watering there are several new branching shoots and leaves pushing out of the main trunk and the secondary branches. As well as a decent amount of flowers on nearly every branch, so new growth is a good sign.) But the browning leaves are bothering me I'm wondering if it's perhaps the feed water being a bit too strong, I mix a liquid complete fertilizer and add a little extra chelated iron and calcium to it. And adjust for the ph so that nutrient uptake is optimal. All of my other plants are loving it and they are growing very well. So currently I'm adjusting the humidity and temperature from 70°f at 50-55% to 80-85°f at 60-75% to see if it responds. I've pruned the dead or dying leaves to try to stimulate new leafy growth. The current lighting is a blend of sources (various grow lights) cranking out a combined 3000ppfd. 600 to 1200ppfd specifically on the lemon tree and the rest on various vegetables. The lux is about 30000 lumins of scattered full spectrum light that hits all the target wavelengths. So all that being said if anyone has insights id be happy to hear some success stories and any tips and tricks #lemonsarefussy

Meyer lemon tree brown spots and dropping leaves Hello, hoping someone can help me! I’ve had this tree for 10 years and as soon as I brought it inside for the cold season, it started dropping leaves and getting brown spots (see pics). I’ve tried neem oil and copper spray and it did have some kind of gnats but used sticky traps to get rid of those. I have it under a grow light. Nothing is helping. Does anyone know what this could be?
