Just let those roots grow, mate. It’s a good sign you’re getting your wet and dry cycles right now.
If you try to transplant her before she does get a bit rootbound you risk damaging her between pots. You just need enough of a root mass in there to maintain a bit of structural integrity. If you use the sandcastle method to transplant you get the hole ready in the new pot - sprinkle a tiny amount of myco in there - then ease the plant out of her pot. If that root mass then changes shape in your hand it isn’t going to fit cleanly in the hole and you’re going to have a bit of a moment.
The good thing about a soil grow is we get plenty of time around some of these decisions.
Thanks DD. Makes perfect sense.
She's still taking a few days to dry out the pot, so I don't think she's in danger of being rootbound yet. And I can pop her out to check her roots if necessary.
Here's a very bad/blurry pic of the drainage holes!
