Hi,
Two days ago I brewed up a IPA
and the Fermention is kinda weird compared to my other beer
this is my second brew

I put it in the glass carboy and let it sit overnight and i checked on it the next morning and it had no Krausen but the airlock was bubbling

now its on its second day, it got lighter and a little bit of Krausen but its bubbling only once every 20 to thirty seconds,
is this normal?
 
Sounds good to me.

The lag time depends on a lot of things. What was the gravity of the beer compared to your first. Did you make a starter?

Bubbles in the airlock are not a reliable indicator of the progress of fermentation.

Keep the beer in the low to mid sixties for 3-4 weeks then take gravity readings for 3 days. If the beer is stable an has cleared to your satisfaction you can proceed with bottling.
