Hi, what is the absolute minium time I should wait before staining PT?
Ive heard anywhere from a day to a year. Does anyone have any advice,
it would be greatly appreciated? Thanks

A moisture meter takes out the guesswork. Wood dries faster in
climates of low humidity. At least six months is a good guideline.
You won't get good penetration unless the wood is dry.

As always, it "depends" on where the wood is...

(1) Indoors in a blazing hot shop ???
(2) Outdoors (as in a deck) ???

Six months is a good measurement for most applications.
