Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract]
GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS	GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETSDuring the third quarter of fiscal 2022, the Company performed an interim impairment review of its goodwill and a recoverability test for long-lived assets as of July 2, 2022. The Company concluded that the carrying value of long-lived assets exceeded their estimated fair value and recorded impairment charges of $69.0 related to trade names and $41.0 related to customer relationships in the “Impairment, restructuring and other” line in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations during the three and nine months ended July 2, 2022. The fair values of long-lived assets were determined using income-based approaches, including the relief-from-royalty method for trade names, that include market participant expectations of cash flows that the assets will generate over the remaining useful life discounted to present value using an appropriate discount rate. These fair value estimates utilize significant unobservable inputs and thus represent Level 3 fair value measurements. After adjusting the carrying values of the finite-lived intangible assets, the Company completed an interim quantitative impairment test for goodwill. This quantitative test resulted in a non-cash, pre-tax goodwill impairment charge of $522.4 related to the Hawthorne reporting unit, which was recorded in the “Impairment, restructuring and other” line in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations during the three and nine months ended July 2, 2022. The carrying value of goodwill of the Hawthorne reporting unit, after recognizing the impairment, is zero. The estimated fair value of the Hawthorne reporting unit was based upon an equal weighting of the income-based and market-based approaches, utilizing estimated cash flows and a terminal value, discounted at a rate of return that reflects the relative risk of the cash flows, as well as valuation multiples derived from comparable publicly traded companies that are applied to operating performance of the reporting unit. The fair value estimate utilizes significant unobservable inputs and thus represents a Level 3 fair value measurement.
