A police spokeswoman told the WHT: "These premises contained what police believed to be fully functioning cannabis farms containing plants of the high potency 'skunk' variety.
"Other search warrants executed that day and on subsequent days over the following weeks resulted in the arrest of various persons for drug trafficking offences and further significant seizures."
A further smaller scale suspected cannabis farm was discovered in Milton Keynes and drugs seized from a house in Hitchin.
She confirmed the seized drugs had an estimated street value of more than �1.5m.
The charged men from Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire and Buckinghamshire, are due to appear before magistrates next month.
