    Northern Lights Auto

    Does anyone know how wide NL Auto tends to get? I'm considering using it in a SOG. I see that it can grow to between 90 and 120 cm. Just wondering how many I can have per square foot. Do you think 1 per square foot would be acceptable, or should I give it more room to breathe?
