hi im new to cloning and i have noticed when i took some big bud clones of my plant and put them in clonex and then into jiffys. i put them into a humidity dome now the clones have been in there for a day now mostly all of them have gone all droopie and the leaves are sagging is this normal???

No. Do you have a florecent light over them?

no they are under a 400w hps light

1. are you saying you took clones of your big bud plant???
2.or took big buds as clones from your plant???

if its the first a little droop can be normal depending on the size of the clone, if you reduce how much light its getting you can slow down photosynthesis, which lowers how much water uptake is required.

if its the second, cloning a plant in flower has some issues. and depending how far into flower you are it can be VERY irritating.
just to start with its metabolic rate is so high by then its water uptake is much higher than if it was just in veg. also plants dont like to clone under 12/12 (at least not for me) so you have to send them back to veg, which can take awhile. but also being covered with all those bud sites gives it alot more nooks and crannies, which in a high humidity low airspeed environment promotes mold real fast.

but same solution, reduce light to lower metabolic rate (no i dont mean a shorter photoperiod, i mean move the lights farther away or use a weaker bulb for awhile), little vitamin b in the water, bit of h202 also very helpfull in plant recovery
