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 trying to flee the property when officers arrived at the Warwick Street address. He was subsequently charged and remanded in custody.
He admitted four counts of possession with intent to supply and the production of controlled drugs during a hearing at Leeds Crown Court.
