my plants are a good 3 weeks into flower, I have got some huge leaves here and there. Would it stress them if I gave them a trim.

NEVER cut leaves of any size unless/until they are dead and useless. Photosynthesis occurs i the leaves, they are your friends...cutting them is like pulling spark plug wires on your race car....

Congratulations on having large fan leaves on your plant. Now just leave them alone. Your plant needs those--THEY are the solar panels that turn light, nutes, and co2 into THC and other good things.

DO NOT TRIM HEALTHY FAN LEAVES....EVER.

I don't understand why anyone would cut the leaves off of their plants, You woulden't do it to the plants in your garden, or to the flowers around the house. JMO though.
