I'm assuming you're using whole hops (my server only posted a few
replies...) If you really want to bottle on Saturday try this:

Rack into another carboy or bucket - put a sanitized SS scrubby on the
bottom of your racking cane. Then rack again into your bottling bucket
using the same cane/ scrubby set-up. You can do this in the same day, same
hour of you want. That should get rid of most if not all of your floating
hops.

Also, I've never seen green, or any color sludge on top of a beer.

Good luck
