meyer lemon leaf drop after using hid(mh) for one week

Hello Everyone, This is my first post on this forum, I have learned a lot from reading many of the posts about citrus care over the past few months. Recently I purchased a 400w HID system with a Digilux MH bulb and HPS bulb. I have been using the MH bulb for about a week when I noticed that the leaves on my 2 year old Meyer lemon tree are turning yellow in random areas and are falling off the tree when I move the planter its in. While I should note that there are about 50 new leaves last time I counted. I fertilize it about one a month at half the regular dose using Dr. Earth Citrus food. The soil is 50% organic potting soil and 50% perlite. The light is about 22inches from the top of the tree and I also have a fan oscillating to keep the air moving. The light is on for 10 hours a day.

Any thoughts or suggestions?
