Tell us medium and nutrients and strain. Plus the other details we're nosy about. Pictures always help.

Soil can put off a bad odor especially in tent grows. The buds look fine I highly doubt your smelling rot on the buds. It's probably the soil. One reason that I switched to coco was to reduce the odor of my indoor garden.

What's the humidity in the damn tent, strain is irrelevant, really, until we know humidity.

I doubt it's the plants from the looks of it.

Also, do you have/had COVID as it can mess with your sense of smell. I couldn't taste or smell for months and months afterwards it would still mess with me.

And as others here have said, like in my soil grows, if there is a lot of humus in it, it can give off a bit of a rotting smell as it breaks down. Especially after I water, come back in an hour and it's like "phewieee.."
