Gromacs adds the hydrogen that the force field will us !!
You probably use the GROMOS force field which only use
explicit hydrogens when thesy are polar !!! If you want to
have all hydrogens described explicitely you have to choose
another force field when running pdb2gmx. OPLS is all
hydrogens ...
