Cherry Tomato looking OK but not quite so

Can you guys help ponder what's up with this determinate cherry tomato I'm growing? My general potting mix recipe is

4 parts peat moss

2 parts compost

1 parts perlite

2 parts vermiculite

1 tsp phosphorous bat guano

1 tsp dolomite lime

1 tsp epsom salt

1 tbsp 8-8-8 organic fertilizer (made of fish meal, fish bonemeal, calcium sulphate, seaweed meal)

Based on my initial research, it may seem to be something of a potassium deficiency but I am not entirely sure. The leaves did show a very faint yellow at the middle leaves before becoming necrotic. I grew 2 of these simultaneously using the same recipe but the other one seems fine and the leaves are less dark in green. The growth of this tomato is not stunted though as it has grown substantially larger since last week. There are no white flies or other pests as the whiteflies are more interested in my fruiting eggplants. Thanks for your help!
