If they are outside, it has been too cold for them at night and the wind and hot sun by day is burning them up. They need to be in a cold frame at least shaded during the day.

Just check that the little slugs are not knawing the stems at ground level. Put a ring of sand around them just in case. and a few slug pellets scattered around

If they are in a greenhouse, you need to open windows during the day and provide some sort of greenhouse shading - either paint or, as I have done, pinning up thin plastic sheet or net curtains will also do the trick. They need lots of water too.
