How long from open swarm cell with jelly to closed?

From an egg to a larvae: 3 1/2 days
From a larvae to capped: 4 1/2 more days
From capped to emerged: 8 more days
Total = 16 days

So if you have a small larvae you have 4 1/2 more days.
If you have a really large larvae, it will probably be capped soon.
