Daniel; Buy some Epsom salts and when your tomatoes are about 8” high sprinkle 1 tablespoon around them. Epsom salt is magnesium sulfate. Magnesium is needed to create Chlorophyll needed for your plant to grow. This should speed up growth. Do it again at 16 inches 4 weeks after that. See the link that Diana provided for fertilizer. You could also get some digested kelp that might speed up growth.

Spacing. for maximum yield plant your tomatoes about 24” apart. If closer they are more likely to suffer from fungus and wilt and die early. Good luck and God bless!
