I've grown quite a few currant varieties, S.Pimpinellifolium,
and never had a problem but allow me to ask a few questions.

What medium did you use to germinate seeds?

How tall were the seedlings when you transferred them to 4 inch pots and what was the medium you had in those pots.

Lastly,what was the source of your seed,if you feel comfortable doing that, or seed age and was source trade, seed offer or commercial.
