What's this?

Help from the lounge deck experts.

So I am on the backside of 2 weeks off and decided to tackle my deck during the break. Previous owners had painted over solid stain and I spent 2 days stripping off old stain and pressure washing.

After everything was done i realized about 7 boards needed replacement. The deck is now sound, but i have a mix of new and old boards. I understand that pressure treated pine needs to weather some time before staining, but what do I do with the rest of the boards?

Should I go ahead and stain the older boards and leave the replacements to weather a month or so? Lowe's had a "deal" on stain so I went ahead and bought 5 gallons of Cabot solid stain.

Thanks.
