I found this link while reading other threads on here and I think I may have racked my first brew too early.

Brewers Best IPA
Brewed on 2/6/10
OG 1.061
There was no fermentation by 2/8 (nottingham dry yeast), so I used White Labs English Ale Yeast and started to see air 15 hours later.
I let this go until the airlock was bubbling once every 40 to 60 seconds and placed in a 6 gal glass secondary on 2/14 with a FG of 2.0 @ 68 deg F. I didn't strain the wort before transferring into the primary so there was a lot of sediment (approx 1.5 inches worth).
Since racking, I have seen nothing from the airlock.
Questions
1.) If I transferred too early, should I add more yeast and try to start this again.
2.) Should this secondary be in a cool dark place
