On my guitars which have a truss rod, with the action tweaked to my satisfaction, I straighten the neck (tighten the truss rod) until I get string rattle when playing, then back off until the rattling stops.

Once the relief is set, there will be some seasonal tweaking but it's in tiny amounts - an eighth turn at a time.
