has anyone had this problem?  I've had them for about a month or two now and slowly one by one as they have gotten bigger have started to turn into what looks like an umbrella.  They still seem to be doing fine minus looking like this.

It does look like they are stretching toward the light. I don't know why the center is up and the skirts are down though.

ill move em up in the morning and see if that helps em out.  it seems like they are really thick too, will they become thicker if they aren't stretched out and don't look like an umbrella?

So I moved them up today a d they still look the same.  Also after the light goes out they remain open.  I know a lot of people have problems with them even opening or not staying open.  Has anyone had this problem of them not closing?
