You don't transplant based on above ground growth. Pot plants do best when the roots are allowed to get a little crowded. You need a solid root mass to grow a healthy plant.
Lot's of folks tend to TP way too early. This will generally result in slowed/stopped veg growth as the roots have to re-fill the new planter. Unless you started in a really teeny planter, it's my guess that a one week old plant would very rarely require TP'ing. I'd sure wait, if you haven't already made this choice.
A couple ways to time this better are for you to keep an eye on the bottom of your planter, TP'ing when roots start growing out the drainage holes (or are visible there).
Another indicator is if you notice you're having to water a certain plant more often in a controlled environment.
Tp'ing too early can really slow down a grow.

i dont transplant till i can pull on the base of the stem a little and the root plug with the dirt pulls away with it, you just have to watch closley and dont let it get root bound if you use that method

kk i havent TP'ed yet so ill wait a little longer but yes the pot they are in are very small
Good move. Fill that little planter w/roots. As smokealot wrote, " . . . dont transplant till i can pull on the base of the stem a little and the root plug with the dirt pulls away with it . . . "

This ^^^ should work for you, too.
