Time to move her to her final resting place(bigger pot)and she'll progress nicely......

I was thinking the same thing. I looked at the drain holes and I saw a few really nice bright white roots poking around. It's definitely time. I was planning tonight or tomorrow morning.
I have a 3 gal waiting. I wasn't planning on vegging too long, so I don't know if a 3gal will be too small.

A little over watered, but I considered this one in veg yesterday.
Have you noticed that seedlings (and rooted clones) seem to hardly grow at all when first transplanted into dirt? The reason is that these seedlings are genetically predisposed to grow out roots only as they first hit dirt. The plant needs to establish a root cluster that will support the plant. So the vast majority of the new plants' energy is geared towards building up the root system under the dirt. If we continue to monitor the same plant we see that at some point there is an explosion of growth aboveground. Reason is that the roots have grown out to the point where they have met the inside of the pot and the plants' energy changes to grow aboveground. That is when a seedling has graduated into veg stage.
You can use this info to your benefit by smartly choosing pot selection. Putting the new seedling into a small container like a solo cup means the roots will soon fill the small cup. The plant soon is rooted and starts to grow greenery. By FIMing or topping early you force the now vegging plant to grow more bushy and stay shorter. That's a good thing.
NOTE -- roots grow out at about the same rate that the largest leaves do. So if the plant has grown leaves that reach the pot outside rim, you can figure the roots have also reached the pot sides. The you decide to TP immediately (for larger plants) or leave her to get a shorter bushier plant.
Good luck, BigSteve.

good solid info steve keep it comming my freind...
Being rootbound isn't necessarily a bad thing. By deliberately letting a plant get mildly rootbound you force it to grow more side branches and therefore more bud sites. Take a good look at a tall scrawny plant and you will realize what a great percentage of plant material is devoted to non-flowering.
Good luck, BigSteve.
