Most of Sims done to have a full state for archviz specifically , so you may find offset value in negative , if you like to have the sprouting animation just change it back to 0 and you will find already simulated frames

Changing resolution even to a higher one may drastically affect results and it may not get the intended ones , as increasing resolution reduces emission speed , collision behaviors , even the simulation behavior itself may look way different if even resolution was changed for testing purposes , so you may need to tweak multiple value across physics settings for colliders, emitters and domains) to achieve desired effect at every specific resolution.
so
it is recommended not to increase or decrease resolution values to avoid unexpected results as these values were tested for hours to ensure stability and results expectation to be as close as possible
