    Most succulents, including the plants you've mentioned, do best in full sun, so they are likely to be unhappy on the north side of the house. The hen and chicks plant can tolerate partial shade but not full shade. This article discusses some succulents for shade:

    Once a week may be too often. It is best to check the soil instead of watering on a schedule.

    Yes. You are correct in your assumption. These require bright sunlight. They can be grown, happily, in full sun.

    Yes, they will do well under horticultural lighting. The succulent mix, whether sandy or not, will be most suitable for these plants. Just don't let them dry out too much, as they like lightly moist soil.

    I recommend only watering these plants every 2 to 3 weeks. they are very drought tolerant. Also, they tend to like high amounts of light, so make sure they get plenty.

    Although these plants resemble succulents, they are actually better suited for outdoor growth. They can do well indoors, though with little care. They need as bright of light as you can possibly give them, and require a somewhat moist soil with dry periods in between. They are pretty drought tolerant though. If you are afraid that you have overwatered, then put a bright CFL or LED bulb over them until they dry out some. Even then you may want to keep this on the plant if it does not receive bright light for most of the day.
