Supersoil Freak Out

Hello All...I am new here and I need some help. I am wondering if I screwed up my supersoil recipe. I used this recipe after it was recommended to me. I should have researched it more but this is the recipe I was given, so I forged on and followed my suppliers instructions. I realize now I should have used the basic recipe. I mixed the soil April 1st and stored it in 3-35 gallon totes in the sun. It has been a cold spring so far in zone 7 in NY. I opened the bins today and while I was not knocked over it does have a funk. There is no growth on the soil and I am wondering if I did something wrong. Please, some suggestions. I planned to plant in grow bags around May 7th. I have never grown organically but I am no stranger to this crop. PLEASE advise. Thanks. 2 Bags of BioBizz Light,
2 bricks of Coco
6 Bags of Roots Organics,
50 lbs Earth Worm Castings
5 lbs Bloodmeal 12-0-0
5 lbs Fish Bonemeal 3-16-0
3 lbs Bat Guano 0-5-0
3 lbs Seabird Guano 0-10-0
3/4 cup Espom Salts
1 Cup Dolomite Lime
2 tbs. Humic Acid
5 lbs Green Sand
2 cups each of:
Crab Meal, Alfalfa Meal, Oyster Shell, Kelp Meal
I cup each of:
Azomite

sounds like you did everything right. I noticed my had kind of a funky smell to it for a couple weeks. Id toss 2 gallons of water ever 2-3 weeks to keep it moist (50 gallon trash can). Just imagine letting blood, bat shit, fish bones, and a bunch of other nasty smelling shit sit for a couple weeks... its gonna smell like shit. But once the microbes got a grip on breaking it down it will bring out the earthy smell.

Mine smells amazing now after cooking for 2 months. Id give it sum time, let things break down and balance out.

How much did you wet it before you wet it more? If you grab a handful of soil and squeeze it, does water drip out? If so its too wet, you want it moist but not soaking...
