most likely it wouldnt, but i guess if it wasnt turning hermie it "might" be
i wouldnt risk it though , wouldnt be sure the male flowers were do to reversal or hermie

If the plant was stressed and DIDNT make any pollen sacs as a result (didn't go hermie on you) then it might be a good idea because you have already stress tested it. But you also risk not having caught any of the pollen sacs that were formed due to the stress vs the cs.
Seems like it could work both ways. If you decide to use it, you should do a thorough search for any already existing pollen sacs before you start spraying. Make sure that the stress hasn't caused it to flip on it's own.
If the plant was stunted due to something you did (too small pot, let it dry, etc) then it is perfectly fine. In fact, if you are going to reverse an entire plant, using a small pot or even solo cup might be better so you don't waste so much space and materials growing a plant you are reversing, that won't give you buds. You don't need very many pollen sacs to get thousands of seeds.
However, if the plant is just a runt in terms of size, you can expect that trait I be passed on with it's pollen.
Perfect, thanks for the answer Hazy. I stunted a Sour Crack due to poor conditions and wanted to make sure it'd be a good candidate for reversal. Cheers!

if it easily stunted i wouldnt use it, you want to be using plants with vigour , not something weak to begin with and pass on
if it is an auto that was stressed you wont know in time if it throws hermie flowers along with reversed flowers , so id avoid using it , if its a photo strain that can be cloned and tested , go for it if the testing goes well
small pots dont make runts , they can keep plants small , but small and runt are 2 different things , runts are weak and not advisable to use

Yup. A genetic runt is just a weakling, and will pass on those traits. A miniature plant due to a small pot should still look perfectly healthy (so long as it isn't root bound with tangles and such ) which is why felt pots and root ball trimming as good techniques for keeping photoperiod plants healthy in small pots as mothers.
Obviously for an auto you wouldn't be root trimming, but it shouldn't be alive so long that it wouldn't be healthy if you fed it well. That's why people can grow some plants all the way in solo cups. They may only get a couple grams, but the plants look amazing if done properly. You should be able to tell the difference between a stunted plant and a runt.
