Stain decking before installing?

We're building a small (9' x 11') cedar deck using 1"x 6" x 12' boards. They will be screwed and plugged. We plan on using TWP 1500 deck stain in cedar tone color.

Would it be advisable to stain the deck boards before installing them? Will the stain soak in and inhibit the glue holding the plugs?

TIA
