Help! Been trying my best but nothing seems to work was created by FunkDungus

Hello, I have owned my bonsai for about half a year now. I initially wasn't taking the best care of my plant because I didn't know how to properly handle a bonsai. But after two months with my parents, it came back and seemed very happy; it seemed like I was just missing a glow lamp as my folks have. So I got the same one as them. But since bringing it back to my apartment, it seems like it could be happier. I water it once a week (bottom watering) for 15-30 minutes in the sink (after cleaning the sink beforehand) and daily give the tree a misting and the soil a mist as well. My grow lamp is currently set for 12 hours since it is still winter. We live on the seventh floor of our apartment, and it is pretty warm in it, so we keep our patio door open with the screen shut to help cool it down; I'm not sure if that could also affect it. I try to keep the door closed when it's too cold outside. I'm truly worried about my bonsai because I have gotten attached to it, and I'm not sure what steps I should take or change that could help. Ive attached photos of what the bonsai looks like and the grow lamp set up that I have for it.

That Juniper looks dead. Junipers die when kept inside full stop. No amount of grow lights will compensate for cold and light that is needed in winter. It is unlikely that it is alive.
