THC is the sole component in marijuana that matters and when in the body it gets transformed slightly by the liver, then processed and ejected. It is these transformed metabolites which are tested for.

obviously by using their noses!! they are trained to alert their officer that they have picked up a strong scent of it, they then lead the officer(s) to the grow op/storage.

sniffer dogs are trained to not react to small amounts of marijuana as this would start massive home invasions.

there are smell-proof sealable bags that hide the smell so that the dogs won't find it.
