The reason headies taste so good is the microorganic life found in the soil and rhizoshpere break down the nutrients differently then say a chemical operation and is what gives the flavor. For instance ammonium nitrogen is inusable to plants until the micro organisms break it down into nitrate. Synthetics do not have the same geometrys or balance as organic material which is why they are not made. For an example look at asprin. It was derived by the bayer company back in the late 1890 from white willow bark. White willow bark contains salentic acid (sp?) which has been used for centuries as a pain reliever and can be trace back to the days of arostotle. Bayer makes a simular product but it is not the same. Chemistry is simply not advanced enough to produce organic material because it has taken 4 billion years to evolve and well thats a bit longer then we have begun to learn about chemistry. Chemical fertilizers do not break down the same as organic and the plants did not evolve breaking them down. Over time with regards to genetics, for this reason, chemical fert even with the same NPK can not sustain life indefinatly. Genetics break down over time and generations with use of chemicals as the chemistry is not the same. Will they grow yes, sure they will. Do the chemicals created have half lives which last thousands of years, most definatly, for if they did not they would be radioactive. Synthetics simply do not decay into natural materials. On the earth there is the nitrogen cycle which recycles the nitrogen (N2 to(by bacteria) NH3 to(by bacteria) NO3 to(by bacteria) N2). There is the carbon cycle, the phosphurus cycle, and the sulfer cycle. These things are from the earth and return to the earth. There is not, to my knowledge, a synthetics cycle because bacteria can not break it down. Bacteria can not even live off of sythetics which is why you dont add it to mediums useing synthetic products. Bacteria are either prokaryotes or archaeas which are simple forms of life that back in the day we evolve from. The synthetics are not pure enough for them to live off of. Because the break down of organic nutrients from bacteria is what gives the flavor of headies it is simply not matchable by synthetic growing, nor do the synthetics return to organic forms magically which does pollute (some slower then other) are earth.
