With a huge house "tightly sealed" and build to produce large amounts of marijuana, at some point there has to be an odor that would leak out, right? Right.

145 plants in a variety of "growth" stages were found. Each plant will produce about one pound of the green, with a value on the street of about $3500 to $5000 a pound.
