MAple Cutting ? Time And Method ?

What is the best time to do maple cutting ?

I have an Amur maple, and right now it has alot of new 6inch shoot. Softwood shoot. Would this be a good time ?

As for the method, I have a pretty good idea. I use 12x24 inch container with soil ( peatmoss/soil ). that way I can have a ~60 cutting capacity.

Do cutting needs light ? If not ill just use the container lid, if yes, Ill put the container in a clear garbage bag to preserve humidity.
But im affraid of heat (greenhouse effect) and burning the cutting?
