Wondering if I should Transplant?

I am using a 3 gal. pot and straight Scott's premium potting soil. My plant is a few days into 12/12, vegged for roughly a month. My soil has compacted quite a bit (settled about 1-1.5"). Everything is going pretty well, but wondering If I should transplant or just ride it out?

I do have another plant on 12/12 from seed, and that is in a mix of Hyponex potting soil and perlite mix (70/30). This drains MUCH better than the straight potting soil.

Do you think it's worth transplanting into a mix of soil/perlite or just leave it be? This is my first grow.

Pic from this am. Slight clawing showing on one leave, and one of the stems on a new branch is slightly twisted. (overwatering perhaps?) Thoughts?

I did it right at the start of the lighting cycle. I re-planted in the same size pot, but getting it out of the old and into the new was gruelling. Some of the soil fell apart, causing the plant to be dropped, seems to be ok though (aside from so other issues, that's for a different post).

I am TRYING to learn patience with this grow, but it ain't easy. Everything is so new and exciting, ya know. You would of thought i'd have patience after keeping reef tanks, but to no avail. lol
 
how do you do a safe transplant from a a small cup too a actual pot... Its a paper cup, i only ask this cause you seem to understand how to transplant your plant

Cut the side of ur paper cup with a blade without stickin it completely through so U wont hurt the roots, Make sure ur soil is dry so it'll all come out in 1 piece instead of breaking the soil and damaging the roots. spray water all around it, spray water on to ur soil in the pot, then stick it in there. hope it helps.
