From what I have heard, I wouldnt leave hops in for more than a week. You could take them out and add more for another week but apparently if you have a long contact time you extract astringent and grassy flavours from the hops.

I agree, any more than a week and you're better off dumping the old hops and putting fresh ones one really.

This does depend on the hop. Cascade are pretty bad for a grassy flavour if you leave them too long.
