Default Adjusting Truss Rod

Hi All,

I had a 1991 Washburn D12SCE with poor playability due to high action. After getting a new Taylor 214ce, I began experimenting with the old Washburn guitar. Put on Elixir Nanoweb Light instead of D'addario EJ15 extra light, finger crossed and start twisting the truss Rod to the limit (due to the heavy bow). I was surprised after the adjustment, the sound change in a good big way and good playability. It feels like brand new. Now the question is. Since I live in Jakarta with constant humidity of 70-80, is there any chance it will bow back some time soon ? If it happen, what can possibly be done to improve action in the future coz it's no longer possible to adjust the truss rod anymore. Thanks for any advise.
