Chiltepin Missed Chance At Life - Will It Come Back?

Well since I took the last pic after pruning on April 12, it is now 48 days later and this is what its looking like today

There are some issues I see. There is some yellowing on some leaves. Also the leaves that are on there come off pretty easily. I could strip this whole thing bald I feel like easily

Its growing in miracle grow moisture control soil. It sits facing east so it gets morning sun untill about 1-2pm so maybe too much sun? I haven't got less shade than that spot besides an almost all shade spot.
 
I water it maybe once a week, or when its completely bone dry.
 
This thing won't grow right!
 
No way is it too much sun, I have several areas that get 12+ hours of sun...now that might be too much. :) I tested growing a plant in MGMCS, not one that I would use the pods to sell or make powder and the plant was useless. I eventually put it out of its misery. I know tons of people have great success with MG but it is not for me. I also have nowhere neat the same luck in a container as in the ground. Give it time, it will come back and if not feed it something good.
 
I grow a variety of the tepins (singles, about a dozen or 15 or so) ... mine are in full-on sun too, show a little bit of chlorotic discoloration of the leaves, and grow spindly like that as well ... they are pretty hardy - i think because they are somewhat w/ bark ...
 
Getting a bit predantic, I know, but I'd try AACT on it instead of pruning it further ...
 
My plants in their 2nd year are booming w/ tiny peppers this year ...

too much water, after a few days of rain the same thing happens to my habanero, just don't water it any time soon

I think you're right. At first I was thinking too much water,  cause I water MAYBE once a week, and its now 90F degrees every day in the east facing sun. My suspicion was under water. But it sure does show characteristics of being under watered.
 
Today I picked off a few premature flowers. I don't want it focusing on that just yet.
 
Its in MGMC soil... can I give it additional sources of nitrogen, or will it burn em?
