It depends upon the weather conditions of your region. Tomatoes need above 25℃ temperatures to grow to healthy plants.

HOW TO TRANSPLANT TOMATO Plant?
Once your tomato seedlings are five to six inches in length (usually 6-8 weeks), it's time to take them out of their small indoor pot to deeper and spacious pots or your home garden outdoors that receives 6 to 8 hours of good sunlight.
Tomato plants should be grown one per container in large containers at least 18 or 24 inches wide and deep. Start with large clean pots. Mix together a well-draining type of soil and compost(if available).
Repotting or transplanting is very easy with Netted Coco Disc Pellet:
Simply dig and transplant the whole coco disc into the ground or re-pot it in a big container, without the hassle of coiling and tangling of roots. The netted cloth will disintegrate all by itself.

HOW TO TAKE CARE OF YOUR PLANT?
Watering depends on the weather. If you are using good quality potting mix then water the plants only when the top surface is completely dry. You can easily test the moisture in the potting mix by just inserting your finger into a corner of the pot.
But in usual cases:
Winter: Water once every 3 days
Summer: Water daily once or twice depending on how intense is the weather.
