I feel like a lot of the time aquasoil will cause nutrient burns to plants with dsm initially.

AS would do it. Imagine how you get 4+ppm ammonia in a 60+g tank. Now realize how you have maybe a cup of water solvating almost the same amount of ammonia. Until bacteria starts to digest some of the ammonia expect to see some problems.

Mold in some respects is good. It is accelerating the natural decomposition of organic matter. However it can also kill your plants.
