Hi thieves
I would leave (uh huhuhuhuh) the leaves on. The plant has a way of drawing what it needs from them ... and I've had leaves that were half dead get green in the not-yet-dead part once the plants became happy. The plant prunes itself, so I suggest a "hands off" approach there.
Also, don't be in a hurry to feed your plants. They're still seedlings, and those carry almost all of what they need in their cotyledon "bag lunch". I think you're doing the right thing trying to dry the soil ... just don't give the poor dears a "hotfoot" withy the heating pad. If you burn the roots ... the first sign if trouble you see is already waaay too late. I do approve of letting the soil dry out a lot. From the pics it isn't very 'airy" soil. When you replant into next-size-up pots, you might want to mix in a lot of perlite.
New leaves are supposed to be that light green ... it's healthy! cn
