What is the difference between hexahydrate and dihydrate?

4 water molecules. It's how much water is contained within the compound.

Ok so if you need 5 cups of hexahydrate how many cups of dihydrate would be needed?

Nothing wrong with it that I know of. Just curious. Seems like such a small amount of sulphate to chloride.
I just looked at your link and see that it's his first/original recipe. |

I see the error in my ways.
Mark in post #3 posted Randy's second, revised version of DIY supplements which advocates 5:3 as Mindy is suggesting. Mag chloride:mag sulphate The next batch of Magnesium I mix up will be that ratio. |
