You'll need to be more specific:

brand/supplier of wax

pour temp

using fragrance? Which? How much?

color? What type? How much?

What temp are you adding the color/FO?

In general, a soy candle cracks because of uneven contraction due to dry air conditions. Many of us that use Beeswax in our soy have to use a little less in the winter so our candles don't crack. In the warmer months, when it might be more humid, we bump up the BW a little to keep the wax nice and hard. If you are using an additive such as BW or USA, you might back off of it by a percent.

Let us know the pertinent details of your candle wax and maybe we can be more specific

i think i might have figured out my problem. I think i was pouring to hot, today i waited united the soy was kind of thicker and poured three candles they smell great and didnt crack or frost.
