The first chu I dropped was just for demonstration that it won't move during the Deku Stick item text which means it can't trigger GIM.
I've tested it with different RNG drops and my fastest attempt was getting it 2 frames after exiting the water.
Inputs:
0) after damaging to half a heart or less target the wall to the left, back off, sidehop right - neutral roll - retarget
1) grab the pot, move forward until Link is in the corner of the basin, turn right, ESS turn right for one frame
2) throw the pot, set up a decent chu trajectory which actually explodes where the stick will land
3) pull out a chu and hold forward so it will detonate after the short hop (Link's position at the corner is important)
4) hold up-left when you regain control of Link
5) switch to up on the frame shown (second pause) or the frame before that should also work, make your way to the stick
Dromasylvia came up with this idea and EverAlert was working on it, too.

This strat can be used in blackout bingos if 4 Unused Keys in Forest Temple appears together with other goals like Fairy Bow, Map & Compass in Forest Temple, Defeat Meg, etc.
Setup starting at 1:10
- Its required to beat the Stalfos below in order to fight the Bow room ones thus being able to leave that room again.
- I shot the eye switch in advance but you can also perform SoT block skip and go through the Map room to reach the area (you need to collect the keys, anyway).
Edit: Its probably faster and saves explosives if you just enter the room with the falling ceiling by going through the Amy puzzle room in reverse instead of the first hover.
- It takes one small key to reach the Beth room but you can fight Joelle to get an extra one so youll still have 4 unused keys.
- If you hover too far back, youll end up over a void but you can unlock the camera with a chu and turn around to prevent a crash.
29 chus and 10 bombs should be a safe amount for the whole temple.
- The first hover can be done with a normal sideflip hover (drop chu within the first three frames). If you drop it on the third frame (shown in the video), you can equip Hover Boots and still get enough distance to make it with 6 hovers.
Your height of the second hover is determined by the initial hover. I watch out for Links feet being aligned with the ceiling for when to switch to bomb hovers (otherwise the chu will crawl along the wall). Thats usually the case after 17 - 18 chu hovers.
My setup isnt very elaborate but maybe one of the pros could use some inspiration.")

0) get ISG, target and climb the railing
1) turn right
2) do 4 sideflip hovers, sideflip onto the upper railing
3) shoot the painting on the wall and push the blocks
You can ESS turn right for 1 frame additionally to allow a late sideflip timing once and still make it with 4 hovers.
The general strat for pushing the blocks is okay (it has the minimal amount of pushes/pulls and the movement in between is decent) but my execution was just horrible.
P.S.: Dont get crushed by the blocks.")
