Default greener plants quicker

My tomato starts have never been full lush dark green like the ones at the nursery or big box store but they always greened up and grown OK when planted out. This year between adding a mycorrhizial inoculant to the dilute fish /seaweed mix they get watered in with and my almost mumsey mix to the hole they are a better darker green and healthier looking. Mumsey mix by volume 1 bone meal, 1 corn meal, 1/2 powdered milk, 1/4 epsom salt. Suposedly 1/2 cup per plant. I used about a tablespoon. I was too cheap to buy bonemeal (phosphorus) so I used a bit of potash fertilizer. Wrong element but I am happy with the results so far.
