To put the planks up horizontally, I would find all of the wall studs and mark them ( maybe with a chalk line). Then, using a 2 1/2" finish nailer, nail the cedar over the sheet rock directly into the studs. I think this would allow for better expansion and contraction. Glue may fail over the years due to fluctuating humidity levels, plus glue would be very time consuming. If you're applying the planks vertically, I would use 1/2" matarial running horizontally nailed to each stud for the length of the wall. Put up at least three courses (top, middle and bottom), then nail the vertical cedar planks to the 1/2" material.

Can you nail tongue and groove flooring in the groove side?
You will bust off the TOP half of the grooved side. ( because there is nothing under it to support it while driving in the nail. Once the nail begins to hit the bottom edge it wont break because its supported and resting against the floor) Dont nail the Tongue side with nothing under the tongue either because you'll bust off the tongue too. Always connect tongue and groove together so its a solid piece of wood before nailing, or fill in the gap so either end (tongue or groove) is supported from the floor up to where you're nailing.
