It needs to be properly cured. Put in an air-tight jar and burp it every day or two for a couple of weeks, then once a week. You need to do this for a good 3-4 weeks to get the job done. Smell will improve as it's cured.

It sounds like mildew. Not good. You should dry them for a few days by hanging them in the dark until they appear mostly dry on the outside. Then begin the curing process as explained above.

Make sure before you cure them that the weed is fairly dry or else you'll end up with problems.
What cr8z13 is saying is buy glass canning jars with the METAL lids (do not get plastic.) and put your buds in there. pretty tight, but not too much. Put them in a dark dry place. But everyday go into your storage and open the jar up for a second and let fresh air in or else you'll get moldy weed. do this for 3-4 weeks and you'll be set.

I use my kitchen cupboards to store my Curing Jars. You can buy a set of like 10 jars for super cheap at the grocery store.
