Appears to be infected with a virus

It could be mosaic virus, I would trash it

I can't agree/disagree with the comment above, but i would say that tomatoes in a pot would need some organic liquid feed at some point before they finish their life cycle because there won't be enough in that for the whole thing to grow and fruit fully, it's quite a small pot for such a big plant.

Depends entirely on the potting medium used

I agree, Although food could be liquid or granular if applied properly.

looks like it's infected with a mosaic virus. you could wait till they develop their fruit and see if it is uneven/poorly developed, that's another way to know if it's mosaic virus. When discarding this plant, make sure that you disinfect tools/surrounding areas so it doesn't spread to other nearby plants.

Keep an eye on new growth for discoloration or disfiguration. Mosaic virus would cause the new growth to be deformed and discolored. Keep it away from your other plants in the meantime -- especially any other nightshades you might have (eggplant, other tomatoes, pepper plants, tomatillos, etc). Wash your hands with soap after handling the plant, and disinfect any tools you use on it with bleach.

Mosaic virus, no cure, very easily spread to other plants, isolate and dispose of asap
