Welcome back to the board!

I think if you let everything grow out for three months, you will be quite happy and surprised with the beard you will have grown. In the pic of your previous beard, it's possible that you had reached terminal length in the centre of your stache, and maybe in your soul patch, but it's unlikely that you had hit terminal in any of the other areas of your beard.

Grow it out and see. Your beard is very impressive for a mere two weeks and it's only going to get better from here.
