A typical MJ veg fert would be more like 15-5-5 or about that... it's really variable, but always N is much higher.

Okay here's your prob. Only watering the leaves... ??? why EVER would you do it that way? Ya gots to water the DIRT. That's where the roots are. Yes, foliar feeding is cool and all, but that's in addition to a traditional feeding routine.

Six of one and half a dozen of the other... they may have greened up again, but then again, you don't want dead leaves in your grow space.

Your fertilizer:
If you are set on the stuff you've got, you need to add an additional source of Nitrogen. I know they sell Alaska Fish Fertilizer at walmart these days. Go get a bottle of it. Now mix your tomato food half strength, and then add what the fish bottle says on it. Now you have a more balanced fert for pot.
Your feeding method:
Lay off the foliar feed for now. You're in a deficiency already so you can just keep feeding and watching closely until you see a bit of greenup or at least the yellow stops getting worse, or the other thing you are likely to notice is a burst of new growth from the fresh N.
Can you get decent results with tomato food? Yes. (I prefer lawn food for cheap-ass emergency shit -I -ran -out- of -fertilizer, because it is designed for leafy greenness, not fruits) Do you have to tweak it a lot to get it right? Yup! Is it the best fert? Definitely not, but I'm sure that as you learn you will see why a 'real' pot fert is so great.
