Default Brewer's Best robust porter question?

I had it in the primary for a week. Fermentation has stopped and I now have it racked to secondary. Should I do a second yeast pitch?

Kit directions make it read that it can be bottled after first week.

No need to pitch more yeast, there's plenty in there. In fact, let it sit in secondary a few weeks. Next time, let it sit in primary for longer than a week, it'll give the yeast plenty of time to make good beer. Kit instructions generally push you too quick. Since I've started leaving my beer in primary for 4 weeks or so, my beers have come out much better.

You'll have plenty of yeast left over for bottling, too, so don't worry.
