Iām south facing. They are completely out in the sun during the day with no shade until about 7 -8 pm. When the sun sets. I germinated them there too in a makeshift greenhouse. They seem like they are very happy there. Should I move them to more shade? They get full sunlight where they areIs that where they stay?

No that's perfect.
Stay right in the sun as long as possible.
Your going to get bugs.
Depending on the foliage around you it could vary.
Mosquito dunks are good for gnats.
A spray as a weekly preventative might be handy for chewers.
I'm using SNS 209 with rosemary oil as a root drench.
But there's several good products at crapy tire or a hydro/gardening shop.

You can add a humidifier or some people hang wet towels in the room. But if your new don't stress too much about it. Here's my ladies and their current temp/humidity

Ahhhh the humidity. I pulled half my hair out obsessing over this. lol
I'm still new at tent growing myself, The only reason I grew in a tent is because I live in a condo and wanted to keep the smell under control, but I didn't think about controlling the environment.
I'll mention a few things I bought and learned so far. This stuff can get expensive quick, so I didn't buy unless I thought I'd need for future use.
You may have come across something called VPD in your research. Vapor Pressure Deficit I bought this VIVOSUN AeroLab THB1S (with the probe) so I could monitor. There are optimal ranges for plant growth.
For the seedling and into the early veg stage I used 2 separate bowls of water with a damp microfiber towel hanging into each bowl. This allowed the towels to wick up water from the bowls and increased humidity.
You'll probably want to get a humidifier at some point. I used this one, AC Infinity Humidifier because I could read the data on it. I don't grow a large number of plants, so it works well for me
De-humidifier - you may or may not need one of these. I bought one that takes humidity out of the entire room.
A few other things I learned:
Think about tent placement. Choose an area away from heat/sun.
The airflow, and number of plants in the tent will have an effect on the temp/humidity levels.
Humidity level of the room where the grow tent is located will also have an effect on the humidity level inside the tent.
I hope some of this helped! its still early and I'm on my 1st cup of coffee
I prefer a wick and fan humidifier vs an ultrasonic one. An ultrasonic one will put all the minerals up into the air and your extraction filter will get clogged with it sooner than wanted.

I really didnt need to use the humidifier. I suppose it depends what part of the country your in. During the winter months it may be a different story. Also using distilled water is a must
Every garden's different. Right, distilled or ro will fix the mineral issue with ultrasonic.

I don't need humidifier in my tent/room. Only time is during germination and young sprouts is when i need humidity. In the past when i used only wood for heating then i used wet towels and pots of water sitting in the tent.

Your plants look great in those containers. My state is having a heat wave dry an breezy terribly hot for plants an animals. I've been pulling my 15gal black plastic pots under a tree for shade. I'm in Oregon but our temps are 15degrees hotter than what was " normal ". Just becareful and good luck with sexing those plants. It won't begin to show until we get less daylight hrs. I grew 4 old bag seed last summer along with 5 fem. seeds and damn if they all weren't girls. Had a trim party my gawd it was awful LOL.Thanks
