When transitioning plants to full sun, I like to put them under shade cloths (50% or so) or somewhere that they'll be in shade most of the day and get dappled light the rest of the day. Leave them there for a week or so and then gradually start giving them full sun carefully watching for any negative effects and ratcheting back down the amount of time in the sun if you see burning.

you can tent them with newspaper for a few days, and give them more sun each day best in the morning
