I've been watching this guy for a couple weeks now, he's visibly growing, which is cool to see, I've never observed one specific spider over a period of time

Wow! Absolutely stunning! What a beautiful spider.

If it's larger, more than half an inch long, once it matures fully, then it's probably a female. Female spiders are often bigger than males.
