It sounds like you may have been a bit early on the pruning. Mid June candle removal is the general practice in the New Orleans area. I've been busy today doing just that on several jbp's. But no harm is done. It's just that the new buds have an even longer growing season going into next year. Matt's advice sounds solid. But when reducing to two buds, be very careful not to damage the remaining ones. They're all you've got.
Here's a before, during and after series of the work done today.
BTW, is this Robert?
