If the field is too weak, no sun spots can form.

As a ham radio operator, sunspots cause great world wide radio communications. I learned sun spots run in cycles of about 11 years, with a few minor exceptions here and there. If there are only a few sunspots, just wait awhile and they will return. When sun spots are at their peak, world wide radio communication is really hopping.

You are missing the point, if the magnetic field is too weak, they can’t form regardless of where we are in the cycle.
