Ed Lacy did the definitive experiment, which he published in the IDRS Journal in 1988 http://www.idrs.org/Publications/Journal/JNL16/JNL16.Lacy.Exper.html.
He found that cane could be soaked indefinitely. Growth of algae and mould could be prevented by using distilled water, capping the container, keeping it in the dark and changing the water after the first, third and fifth days.
For bassoon cane, the salts were soaked out after three days. For thinner oboe cane, the period could be shorter.
He found that reeds were much improved after soaking the cane.
It certainly seems worth trying.
