Isn't the Kellogg organic granular a 5-6-3 or 5-6-4,something like that?
What's the NPK of the local nursery tomatoes fertilizer you're using? Is it organic or synthetic?
If you want a liquid organic fert with a lower N ratio to replace the Alaska 5-1-1 fish emulsion, go with a fish hydrolysate or better yet a fish hydrolysate with kelp.
You may have all the P and K that they need already taking into account the content of the granular fertilizer. The Epsom salts are probably unnecessary if you have sufficient Mg and S in the other fertilizers which I bet they do.
The plants look great.
