Epsoma Plant-tone fertilizer: Bad smell when used in containers?

I'm trying to make a switch from using MIracle Gro fertilizer to a slow release type mixed into a peat/perlite/compost type mix. I've never used Epsoma products before. So, I'm just trying to avoid a mistake if the product isn't suitable for containers.

I've used Alaska Fish Fertilizer before, and although the product is supposed to have all odors removed it does smell like a pond for a day or so after you apply it. I've got about 16 sq. ft. of containers on a balcony, and they will all be getting the slow release mix with occasional Fish Fertilizer as needed. But with using the slow release product I don't want to mix up all the soil and then find out it smells too offensive once you start watering. So,does anybody know if Epsoma Plant-tone soil fertilizer is not appropriate to use in containers on a balcony because it smells too offensive?
