Welcome to the board!  You have some really good lower growth.  From the pictures in your 40 day old beard, it appears that you have enough to sport a good looking chinstrap (like iBruno has stated).  I like the 3 month (13 week) goal.  I think you can sport a good look it you let it grow out.  I'd like to see weekly updates.  I also would like you to look at your strengths - if I see correctly, you may have carved a neckline in your 40 day beard photos ... I wouldn't do that yet as I'd like to see you lower it more than I think you have it in the pictures (if that makes sense).

I'd grow it out and give it at least 3 months.  Again, I'd like to see weekly updates.  See if you can get your pictures in your post ... check my signature line for Beard Board Essentials and there should be some instructions on posting pictures.

Glad to see that you have started a thread and your journey.  I look forward to seeing you grow it out!
