No seedlings in the direct sun.
Shade only for a few weeks till they get stronger.
Enen when ya start them indoors and plan on putting them out I place them in shade for a few days to see how they react.

In hot climates ya can use shade cloth once the plant is established. I used that with a greenhouse grow in Alabama. I understand the heat. It's tough down there but they will grow in it.

They must be in the shade when it's hot amd direct sun.

I have the same problem. I am in the SW and it’s a hot desert here. Veg them at least 3-4 weeks before putting them outside. Put them in a shaded area to start and move them to fill sun after a week or so.
