First time doing phyto, this is the evening of day 5. Held phone light up to it to try to illuminate it a little more. 5 seems a little quick, but under perfect conditions it’s possible. Does this color seem done, is it okay to maybe let it go another day, because it’s 10pm here lol

Looks pretty dense. Go ahead and split the sucker!
I.E. Use half for dosing and keep the other half to keep the phyto going!
