Aloha bruddahs, I've been on here for awhile, but I just switched to a new handle for personal reasons. I'll still use the old one for awhile though until I get some more rep under this name.
What island are you moving to? Have you grown in the islands before? There's not any difference between weed farming and MMJ growing except you don't have to hide your plants.
Anyway, if you get some seeds or clones, which shouldn't be too hard since you made it sound like you've lived here before and you probably should have some connections to seeds or clones, you can grow them just like any other time of the year in your preferred method. If you grow outdoors straight from seed or clone your plants will most likely go straight to flower (seed plants will veg for a couple of weeks, clones won't). You can start them off indoors with lights or have them outdoors with supplemental lighting to keep them vegging until you want to flower them in which case you would just turn off your supplemental lighting to get them to flower. Or you can do the more labor intense method of putting them outside during the day and bringing them inside at night to give them supplemental lighting to keep them vegging. Besides that, the growing aspect doesn't change throughout the year really. Just during long season you can put sativa dominant seeds out and there's a good chance they'll veg through the summer and flower in the fall.
I hope that covered your question.
