You could rebatch all three together so all of them have the proper amount of lye. I don't know of an accurate way to add more lye water to a batch that doesn't have enough. You cannot add dry lye to a rebatch. The lye would need to be dissolved in more water. You would need to know exactly how much lye you are missing in the soft batches. Sounds like you didn't reach trace before you poured. How much did you superfat total?

Your reply doesn't really make sense. Even if you measure incorrectly, if the batches were mixed properly, then they would all be the same hardness - or softness.

The only other thing I can think of is whatever may or may not have been added after you split the single large batch into 3 smaller ones. What, if anything was added at this point? Perhaps that is the culprit.
