grow lights ?

I have 5 trees, that I am currently unable to put outside. #1 incredibly windy, #2 still frost risk, #3 maybe 2-3 hours sunlight, total. (too many tall trees around)

I have had trees before, all have done great, until I had them inside for winter. I have options of taking them to a friends yard, where I have a garden, so they would be checked regularly, I just would love to keep them here, but it would be strictly grow light, and outdoor time for more of the heat than light. I was thinking grow lights at night, outside in the heat for the day??

How many hours should the trees be under the grow lights? I have 5-full spectrum bulbs all around the trees, not sure if thats enough or not. The leaves have all turned towards the lights (and I have been rotating the trees)

I have 2 meyer lemons (one... I will do anothr post about) 2 key limes and a calamondin. all about the same size, all have new growth, flowers and fruit on (key limes are just now flowering)
