Hi, I recently pruned my reaper about 6 days ago and at first the leaves I left on were nice and dark as the days went on the they started to turn a pale yellow and started to drop off. Now I'm left with a few small leaves and some new nodes. Oh.. How do I upload a photo? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Sounds like the plant is just in shock from the pruning. How much did you prune? Rule of thumb for any plant
is no more than 1/3 at a time.
Is it in the ground or a container? If it's in a container, move it to a shaded area for a few days/weeks so
the direct sunlight isn't causing any additional heat stress.

It's in a 5gal bucket, yeah I pruned a lot the plant was about 2 feet, it's about 4-6 inches now. Thanks I'll move it in and give that a try.
Main thing right now is don't overwater. Give the new shoots a chance to come out.
Thanks for the help much Mahaloz! , @sobelri and @hawaiianero.
