They should be a great size by 5 weeks, especially if you can get them used to being outside early on when day temps are 50+. I think Tormato sows his seeds May 1 and plants out on June 1 every year. Once when my plants got wiped out by a frost in May, I restarted seed and planted them by 4 weeks and they did great.
Edited to note that I always put 2-3 heavy round toothpicks next to each stem to protect from cutworms.
