 Should I transplant?

I've had some seedlings for about a week that are around 6 inches tall. They're growing in those jiffy expandable pellets, and I was just wondering if I should put them in 16oz cups for now? They have 4 pointy leaves (forgive me, I don't know the technical name), 2 of which are barely a millimeter long as of now. Thanks for any answers that I'm given.

I like to transplant when I see roots coming out of the bottom of the puck. 6" is incredibly tall for a week old seedling. You are going to have to give them more light as I believe the stretching is due to a lack of light. When you transplant, bury the plants up too the first set of leaves (cotyledons) in order to combat the stretch.

Ok, thanks for the tip on when to transplant.
Yes, I had to wait to get proper lighting, but I'll bury them as you suggested.
