The site was being used to not only grow the cannabis, but for packaging and distributing the drugs.
Glowacz, of Linton Road, Wakefield, was apprehended after attempting to flee the property when the police arrived at the Warwick Street address, and was subsequently charged and remanded in custody.
He admitted four counts of possession with intent to supply and the production of controlled drugs at Leeds Crown Court.
