I agree that the clear tubs would be far too hot. Sheltered shade to part shade and no full sun at all for the first several days. Gradually move them to more sun but still sheltered from wind . If they are in small cups they should never be out in a windy location as they dry up in no time...we want to harden them off, not shrivel them up. As temps permit begin to leave them out overnight close to planting out time and do not ever let them dry out. The bigger the pots they are in the easier it is to harden plants off and transplant them with less transplant shock. IMO
