What hydro method are you using? The lazy one where the water just gets used up (kranksy or something)?
I’ve had rotten luck with squash family stuff getting fungal infections and aphid infestations when I’ve tried in dirt. Although my neighbours grow great ones. If if they do well in hydro that might be the ticket.

The zucchini in this post would be considered kratky hydroponic but they do well in pretty much any of the common systems. Whatever method fits your life will probably be just fine for the squash too.
My wife had an abortive interest in hydro and we have the stuff for kratky. Some wins might rekindle her interest, which might lead to more hard to dirt grow veggies later!
I’m all for taking back our food production for anything and everything it’s practical to grow. I’ve found that soil free methods offer the added benefit of fewer pests when used outdoors and effectively none when used indoors unless something hitches a ride inside. Less mouths sucking leaves = guilt free bountiful harvests for me/us!
Sometimes it’s nice to offload troublesome outdoor plants out of the garden and into some other method so you have more time and space to make the most of the outdoor spaces. The sky is the limit.
Its amazing seeing this come out of home depot totes
