Title: Grafting
Post by: Blair Sampson on June 03, 2021, 08:05:33 am

Limited success with latest grafting program. Only 20 of 45 accepted. Now at day 6 from initial graft day. I wish to re-graft into the same cloakboard cellbuilder. Is it as simple as  removing unacepted ( but polished) cups and regrafting back unto the same frame as other accepted cups?

No. Day 6 should be capping day. Pupa too fragile to handle very much. Cells can go in incubator as soon as capped and a new frame grafted and put in the cellbuilder.
