2 weeks is not enough to drain the battery below 11v to not start the car, and obviously not long enough so it chocks a bit to start.

but at around 4 weeks, now it should be a little harder to start. At least, under extreme cold (-30c/-22f)

When the #2 and #3 batteries in that car were almost new, the car did hesitate to start after two weeks of non use...at least once with each of them. However, that might not be a fair comparison as those were both series 26R batteries, rather than series 35.
