Business Combination and Asset Acquisition [Abstract]  
ACQUISITIONS ACQUISITIONS
 
Our acquisition strategy is primarily to acquire (i) well established profitable hydroponic garden centers in markets where the Company does not have a market presence or in markets where it is increasing its market presence; and (ii) proprietary brands and private label brands. The Company accounts for acquisitions in accordance with ASC 805 “Business Combinations.” Assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at their estimated fair values, as of the acquisition date. For all acquisitions, the preliminary allocation of purchase price was based upon the preliminary valuation, and the Company's estimates and assumptions are subject to change within the measurement period as valuations are finalized, not to exceed one year from the acquisition date. The Company has made adjustments to the preliminary valuations of the acquisitions based on valuation analyses prepared by independent third-party valuation consultants. During the six months ended June 30, 2022 our measurement period adjustments included increasing goodwill by $1.3 million offset with intangible assets. As a result of these measurement period adjustments, we made an insignificant reduction in amortization expense. All acquisition costs are expensed as incurred and recorded in general and administrative expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
