doubt about the smell of my buds

probably sealed them up before they were dried appropriately. pickle smell? or ammonia? this would indicate some microbial growth. any fuzz on the plant material would be worse, lol.

Someone doesn't care about your health. Your health is more important than the effect. Hopefully there is no mold and you can smoke your flower, but if it has any mold throwing it in the garbage is the best move.

Just smoke them, that is all that really matters....the effect! Even if it smells like horse shit, are you going to throw it in the garbage?

I agree with Freddy if he could finish his sentence hahaha Mold can cause a bad smell, so make sure your flower is properly dry before sealing it in a jar and make sure the humidity in the jar is around 55-60% The fuller the jar, the lower you can aim and if it's quite empty you can go closer to 60%. If you have mold, do not smoke you flower.

Inspect them closely with a jewelry loupe and make sure the rh in the jar is not above 60% you may have bud
