Your only hope now would be for this lignin to enter a reaction and become a humic substance.
"Humic acids are extremely important as a medium for transporting nutrients from the soil to the plant because they can hold onto ionized nutrients, preventing them from leaching away."
Don't worry. Phenol Oxidase will break down that lignin for you!
I read about this! You haven't been able to take in enough...
I am becoming ill, I need more nutrients as fast as possible!
How will our poor plant ever be able to take in all these nutrients?!
