No arrests have been reported in connection with the operation, which was discovered on Tuesday by the police department's air unit, Glendale police Officer John Balian.
The plants, which have an estimated street sale value of up to $10 million, will be taken to a disposal site, Balian said.
"The suspects had designed a watering system using ... the water tower located near the mountain (that) was designed to be used in case of brush fires," Balian said.
An investigation was being conducted by the Glendale and Burbank police departments and the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration.
