Heavy feeders. Don't think they need a lot of space to survive or do well, but if the pots are small, liquid ferts will grow them bigger.
If you think they're getting too big too early for your plant date, just keep em moist without fertilizer and they'll just stay as they are until ready.
That is exactly how I am or was controlling the growth of my tomato plants.
