We recently created this set up for our plants on our balcony. We’re worried about some plants not getting enough sunlight. Any recommendations for grow lights or any better ideas? Thank you in advance!

I'd say my favorite are Sansi, Barrina, and Vivosun. The Barrina i have the most of, long tubes 2, 4, and 6ft. Full spectrum. They carry them on Amazon too.

Does it get half sun half shade? Or just a bit?

It faces towards the east so we get full sun in the morning but not the rest of the day

I'd say unless you had some super bright light loving plants. That amount of light should be decent. But if there are some high light needs a light would be a good idea. I would also keep an eye on the potting mix moisture level, if any of the plants are new to that spot. As that just morning light can have them stay wet a bit longer.
