Pot up when you see 2 sets of true leaves.

Reasons NOT to pot up:
-roots are coming out of the bottom of the pot
-X amount of true leaves have emerged
-the tips of the leaves have reached the edge of the pot
Reasons TO pot up:
-deficiencies are occurring, usually yellowing from the bottom up (lack of N)
-the roots are becoming bound in the pot (you aren’t even close to that yet)
-you can’t keep up with the waterings, in other words, it’s drinking quicker than you can tend to it
In all, you want the root structure to hold the soil together when you pull it out of the pot. If the soil crumbles away, you are too soon.
MI Gardener on YouTube has a wonderful video on transplanting seedlings, I highly recommend you check that out over listening to anybody on Reddit first.
Edit: if that didn’t answer your question, the answer is currently no

Generally once I have to water 1x a day its time.

Yo! I would wait 10 days and then pot up.

Side comment: it may seem like you must have grow lights to grow tomatoes from this sub but if you’ve got access to sunlight in a warm enough setting (e.g. a house or it’s warm enough outside) that’s absolutely all you need. Also, sunlight is a fair bit cheaper than grow lights.

I just had a tray of plants all growing amazing…
Moved one to a larger pot and is going strong, over half the ones I left in my tray died the next 24 hours later… quickly moved everything else over into pots that had life.

I’d wait about another week at least
