I'm certainly no expert although I have grown a lot of other plants and vegetables, but I'm sure it will be fine to wait about a week although you probably will not get as much growth during the week if you where to do it sooner.

Them's my sentiments, exactly!!! Your plant isn't rootbound, but it is root-full! It's a perfect example of being a little overdue for a transplant (but just a tad)! Experience teaches to judge by the ratio of "dirt" to roots. Like my man Hedgehunter said, if the soil around the lower part of the root ball is completely covered by roots ("pure white") - that's rootbound, my friend!

Your root ball looks to be about 1/2 roots and 1/2 "dirt"; yeah, that's the right time for a transplant! By the way, your roots look good - well developed and evenly distributed!
