Actually, I don't think you need to live in Florida for 6 months to become a resident. That would mean that you need to pay income tax to another state while living in Florida, which is not true. The 6 months is the time where the state can declare you to be a resident, even if you don't want to be one. You cannot live in Florida indefinitely and declare yourself a non-resident.
