Officers executed a warrant on an industrial estate off Park Lane in the Fallings Park area of the city shortly before 7.20am on Tuesday (February 18).
They forced entry to two units and discovered around 200 cannabis plants, growing equipment and found the electricity had been bypassed, a West Midlands Police spokesperson said.
A man was discovered inside and allegedly attempted to evade police by climbing through a loft hatch onto the roof but was safely brought down by officers.
A 21-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of cultivating cannabis and abstracting electricity.
He remained in police custody for questioning on Tuesday afternoon.
A force spokesperson added: "All plants will be seized and destroyed by our Cannabis Disposal Team.
"If you can help with our investigation please call 101 or contact us via Live Chat on our website quoting 20/149054/25.
"You can also get in touch with us if you suspect there is a cannabis farm where you live."
