Watering Strategy - i am not an expert, but I water once a week for all my plants. Many places I have read, allow the soil to completely dry out in between waterings and some say just check the top 1 inch. What is true?

Agree it's plant dependent, but I think a good baseline is watering once a week then seeing how your plants react. You aren't going to kill any plant by only watering it once a week (except maybe cactus), so start with that and see how they do.

Does this take a long time? Also how do you know when it's has had enough water using this method

I think that is plant dependent. I have some that I let dry completely and others that like to stay moist. My croton will get dry between, but my fern always stays a bit damp.

so interesting..I put stones on the top of the soil and when I did my weekly watering, it overflowed lot quicker that generally, which would mean the water was retained in the soil!!
