I am growing the seeds inside for the first time this year!  
How do I know when to transfer the plant into its own pot?  
Thank you!

I usually transplant when roots come out the bottom. And into a 2-3" pot. It's tempting to go bigger, but it really affects growth if you upsize to quickly

I’ve always been told when they get 2-3 sets of true leaves. Worked for my veggies last year.
