An enharmonic equivalent of F## is G natural, but you cannot write G natural in a G# minor scale, because the letter name is already used.

These notes are called enharmonic equivalents because they sound the same—indeed they are the same note—they just go by different names depending on the situation. G# is the same as Ab, C# is the same as Db, F# is the same as Gb, and so on. *Note: B to C, E to F are separated by half steps, so B#=C, and Cb=B, etc.
