Is the end (of the SLAM) near?

I began SLAMing about three weeks ago. The water was such a dark green it almost looked black, and I couldn't see even to the first level of the steps.
The water is now a very slight shade of green, and clear (not cloudy) - the main drain is easily visible in 7+ feet of water.
However it seems that the green tint has not changed in an "obvious" way over the past few days. The filter maintains a constant 12psi, and has been running 24/7 for the duration. I brush and/or vacuum the pool (including walls) just about every day, and there is no visible debris.
Is this to be expected, or am I missing something? (There is also a brown-ish "ring" around the water line that has not changed even with the brushing and shock level of chlorine, but I think this should be addressed after the water clears?)

Appreciate any input
 
With a CC of 1 you are still killing algae. If you have clear green water it could be copper built up over time from things like algaecides and products with "Blue" in there name.

You need to pass all 3 criteria to end a slam. Check your light, steps, weir doors, etc for algae, it is really good at hiding from us.

I'll have to presume that there must still be some algae left. I haven't added anything aside from what is recommended on this site. I'll check the inside of the weir door and the skimmer entrance as well. I guess it's just a waiting game at this point...
