several related buteos are very hard to distinguish, I gave up before chiming in. A location might eliminate possibilities.

I just looked up hawk species in wi and I saw an article that had a redtail as a mature female coopers hawk. But then theres other websites that show completely different birds as coopers hawks so I just dont know anymore.

Speaking of 12’ hopefully @Green Hornet doesn’t fall off his ladder trying to trim that plant come harvest time!

I am not a hawk expert either but the humingbirds left my area two days ago for migration

I dont think I am. Since Im doing organic Im trying not to flush anything out. Only giving her .5 to .75 gallons of plain ph water when the pots are pretty light. But when I do water about half of it runs straight through the medium and out before it starts to soak it up and I use yucca with every watering

Hydroguard is great for root rot. Also organic. Might want to wait to get them healthy again before flipping to flower

Yeah probably, I just dont want her to get too big. Both of these strains are known for having an outrageous stretch. And Im not that great at managing a super crowded tent.

I'm pretty sure it is a buteo, not an accipiter, but hawks can be pretty tough sometimes, the plumage is variable, especially among buteos. The tail does not look long enough for an accipiter to me. When I ran the photo through my Merlin app, it came up with a short list of buteos, which included the red tailed, but I can't tell which one your bird is.

Don't sweat not being able to identify hawks, at times I am pretty sure that they stump experts, and I think the buteos are the worst of the bunch due to variable plumage (I'm not an expert, but I have experience). Due to the variable plumage, finding an illustration that fits is often impossible no matter how many bird references you check. Also, I think that the rascals hybridize, which makes things even worse.

If you have at least a passing interest in birds, you might be interested in the Merlin app. It can identify by sound as well as photos. It is not perfect, but it is remarkably good.

Oh that would have been helpful, while I was taking pics it was making a noise. Kinda sounded like a coo, but stressed out.
