Are you opening the jars for an hour and turning the buds daily?
And the buds have to be dried before going in the jars.

Yes I dried for 9 days and I open the jars for about a half hour a day but they still dont smell like weed?

ive read that you gotta cure for at least 2 weeks for the smells to start coming out...

I think it has something to do with the breakdown of chlorophyll. I dunno maybe im wrong.

i recently harvested a batch of bud same stuff i grow all the time but this batch does'nt taste the way it normally does. the room got hot during growing and the room i dry in is very hot this time of year is there a connection?

When I recently harvested, the buds reeked when I hung them . . . they reeked when I moved them to jars. After a few days of curing, that reek had gone (I couldn't even smell it, Mrs.F could)
Now, a couple of weeks later, that bud is all but initially cured and a nice smell has returned, nothing like as strong as the live bud, unless I'm busting it up, but plenty aromatic.
I'm guessing you'll see something similar, assuming it reeked wonderfully as you grew it, especially at harvest time!

Patience is key... it sucks but has to be done. i look at my jars everyday hoping they pick up smell. ive found out that after 2 -3 week of burping i leave the jar closed for a week and then smell it. it already picked up some weed smell. then close it up for another week and smell it again.
