1) more energy efficient 2) algae don't matter but it's a sign you're overfeeding too much nitrogen 3) they get more as they get bigger, I've heard of 13 4) skim milk 5) depends, but about 10 days or so.

1) Im not sure what the numbers actually mean, but Im sure Google knows.
2) Algae grows where it is moist and where there is light, if you cover the top of the soil with something that light can't get through that would kill any algae.
3) Sounds like its growing
4) Spit on them and rub with a cotton t-shirt ( This works with boots too)
5) 2-3 weeks some will show sooner some later, but in general 2-3 weeks, by 1 month its usually really starting to show


FWIW Purple outlined leaves do not sound good, what is your current setup?
