Welcome, and give the the full 13 weeks with no trimming except to carve an optional neckline. Goals are great, but remember to make you beard into your beard, not some model's beard.

Agreed.  Those beard modes grow thicker and more uniform beards than 95% of the world.  Yours is not going to look like that, I can honestly tell you that now.  Do not lose heart though, if you give it enough time, almost any man can grow a nice looking beard that suits their face.  Committ to growing for three months, and at that point you will know whether or not you should stick with the full beard or play to your obvious strengths- your mustache and chin area.
