The judge at Teesside Crown Court said that it was a sophisticated set-up with the electricity supply bypassed, abstractor fans, and heating, lighting and irrigation systems.
Prosecutor Emma Atkinson said the house next door in Tankerville Street, Hartlepool, was also a cannabis farm when Cleveland Police raided them on May 3.
There were 186 plants in the second one, and it also had a Vietnamese live-in gardener called Nguyen but they were not connected.
