It depends on the variety of Jalapeno. Peppers produce more if they touch each other as the plants are reaching maturity so if you are growing Early Jalapeno or Jalapeno M, which are small plants, I could see 6 fitting in - two rows of 3. If it is a large plant like Goliath Jalapeno, 4 would comfortably fit.
