Found this...

"Single representative plant yields 50 grams then based upon the 10 plants recovered from the address yielding a similar amount the potential yield would be 500 grams. A valuation is then applied to the potential yield by the police typically based upon a price of £10 to £15 per gram. The potential value of this grow would range from £5,000 to £7,500.

But what if the plants aren’t flowering, how will they be valued then? Well in real terms plants at that stage of growth are effectively worthless but police officers will attempt to predict the potential yield based upon police data of cannabis plants and average yields. There can be considerable difference in the estimates provided which have increased considerably in recent years. Officers frequently suggest that yields of 84 grams per plant are typical with little consideration of the growing facilities such as available lighting or space.

If ten immature plants are discovered then the estimated yield could be as high as 840 grams. At a street value of £10 to £15 per gram then even a modest grow is considered to be potentially worth £12,600. If we then factor in the potential value of the leaf material, often valued at £5 per gram then it is easy to see why even a modest growing facility can be considered to be commercial.

As the vast majority of cannabis growers now utilise a method based loosely on the “Sea of Green” then it is common for past and future crops to be included in the valuation. Cuttings are commonly valued as mature plants despite being at an immature stage of growth and little consideration is given to potential failure rates. The grower may cultivate 20 cuttings with an expected attrition rate of 50 % leaving ten viable plants to replenish the more mature crop. If discovered though then for the purposes of yield estimates and valuations for court proceedings the yield is likely to be based upon 30 plants with little consideration of the age of the plant. In such circumstances a simple 10 plant grow and 20 cuttings can result in a potential yield of 2,520 grams with an estimated value of over £37,000."
