Time to put her in the ground?

So this beautiful Indica dominant specimen although looking amazing, (apart from the nibbles) with great, thick, succulent leaves and already giving off a strong smell.... she has had quite a journey so far.

She came from bag seed and was germinated with about 8 other different seeds.... in my inexperienced excitement when she popped, I fucked up (rookie error) by trying to pick the seed case off... doing this, I actually snapped the stem completely in half, as she was tiny, barely above the soil and only showing 1st 2 leaves... In my extreme panic and disappointment I just kinda pushed her back into the earth and prayed!!! She took about 2 weeks to start growing at all... But fuck me when she got going she just exploded... She's been given extreme TLC since, and I've been going fully organic with the nutes, she looked a little pale at one point I used my pee (10/1) to fix this problem, it seemed to work a treat (pics attached)... She has been inside through out this process but it's now time to go outside... I have also topped twice, so going for 4 main colas, although she hasn't quite bounced back from the last 2nd top which was 7 days a go... She has spent 3 nights already outside in her pot ( She seems to take literally what ever you throw at her) but it's been raining a lot ... With more rain forecast 22°... I'm thinking she should probably go into the ground... I'm worried about fucking up the this determined beast of a plant by destroying the root system in a pot that will clearly be to small soon.... She will be planted very close to river where soil drainage is great...

Do I just go for it to give her the best chance!

Thanks

That is about the size that I generally transplant out of a pot of that capacity, but, you mentioned that " it's been raining a lot ... With more rain forecast". Not knowing your climate makes it hard to make a recommendation about whether or not you should plant it in the ground now or wait for the rain to stop.

It's a balance, optimally I would be trying to transplant within a week, but it could go longer if the weather is not conducive.
 
Quick update...she survived the hailstones ok, but she's really taking her time growing where topped... Only 1 shoot out of 4.... But to be fair, she's had 3 big shocks, stuck in the ground... Pissed down on with hailstones to boot, and topped! If she makes it through... I'll be damned

So out of the 4 colas I was hoping to achieve from topping twice, only 1 potential cola has emerged/exploded... There is a start of some growth on the opposite branch (see pics) but it looks like it is struggling as the leaves look a little deformed? I have included a pic highlighting how much one side has grown. So my questions is? Is there any hope of the missing 3 colas developing? Thanks IMG_20230617_105634.jpg
