All seedlings need to be "hardened off," before planting.
Hardening off plants just means introducing them gradually to
the harsh outdoor environment. The best method to harden plants
is to move them outdoors on a mild day. Hopefully on a mild and
cloudy one. Leave the plants in partial shade protected from
wind. Allow the plants more and more direct light and wind each
day.
Your seedlings are young plants and somewhat fragile, but they
will thus become accustomed to their new home and better take
direct sunlight. After merely a week the plants should be ready
to take the rigors of being transplanted.
