There are some types of weep that are only perforated on 12" centers or so,
Those holes are not for "weeping", they are there to key the stucco to the weep screed because of the angle of the weep screed.
J-metal weep screed may be used in applications where the designer doesn't want the bottom flange exposed to view,
'J' plaster ground is not intended for, nor does it make for, a good weep screed as there is an upturned lip ... which prevents weepage/draining.
