An appeal to ignorance requires to me make an assertion. Saying something is _possible_ is not an assertion.

I concur however, that if one has a genuine concern for plant suffering then only ethical course of action is suicide.

Yes, _asserting_ something is possible is an assertion. And if your only intention was really to just point out the possibility of it and not suggest it as a likely alternative, you're not adding anything to the conversation. But it seemed to pretty clear be the latter.
