When to transplant when starting in a seedling tray?

ItsGrowingOnMestarted grow question a year ago

I chose a very small potting tray for seedling (see diary)in order to master watering from beginning to large pot and want to know when it would need to be transplanted? I’m thinking I want to see roots from the bottom drainage but don’t want it to become root bound.

I would transfer now as, Organoman says. You could wait for the 3-fingered leaves to develop and then transfer, but you should definitely transfer before the set of 5-fingered leaves fully develop.

If the soil will hold when upside down on your palm of hand (ie dry) you can safely move at any time, I'd do sooner rather than later, especially with such small starting point + 🌱 already established

Give it 2 more sets of leaf growth. Then there should be enough roots to hold the soil enough for transplant without the root ball crumbling apart in your hands. And when you do, don't plant in a clear container. Roots don't want light, at all.
