hello. what is the best way to get 6 mana on turn one playing green, if possible.

And is the proposed deck monogreen, or can it splash?

it should be legacy format. green-red deck (mostly green). 2x green + 4x colorless on turn one. shouldn't contain overpriced cards like black lotus.

What is your ultimate goal (what do you want the mana for)?
You're going to have a real hard time hitting that mana in legacy--it's not impossible--there's a lot of fast mana printed, usually in Red ( Simian Spirit Guide , Rite of Flame ), there are fast mana artifacts ( Lotus Petal , Chrome Mox , Mox Opal ), and there's Manamorphose to fix your colors--but it is generally going to take a whole lot of moving parts.
You're in colors with mediocre card draw options, meaning you're effectively banking on a perfect opening hand--that's not an effective strategy.
Finally, with all your moving parts, you still have a relatively fragile opening turn, where a single Force of Will (the third most played card in the format) can make all your work generating mana be for nothing.
Which brings me back to my opening question--what is it you are trying to do with your mana? There might be a better way to accomplish that task, such as a way to cheat that card into play or a good way to stall out until you're capable of playing the card.

Forest + Mana Vault + Sol Ring + Mana Crypt + Lotus Petal + Mox Opal + Dark Ritual = 11 mana on turn 1.

hello. thank you for answers. i'm trying to build deck around something like Pattern of Rebirth to get fat creature on turn one.

With Pattern of Rebirth you're going to want a low CMC self-sacing creature so you can enchant that creature with Rebirth and then sac the enchanted creature to trigger Rebirth. In my first comment I suggested Tinder Wall and it's a self-sac creature who costs no mana to sac. Wall + Rebirth is only five mana which is conveniently the amount of mana that Seething Song makes.
Your hand: Forest or Mountain, Simian Spirit Guide , Rite of Flame , Seething Song , Manamorphose , Tinder Wall , Pattern of Rebirth
Play Forest, exile Spirit Guide add , tap Forest add , cast Rite add , cast Song add , cast Manamorphose add giving you , cast Wall, cast Rebirth enchant Wall, sac Wall.

If you just want a turn 1 large creature and are willing to forego red/green: Swamp , Dark Ritual , Entomb then either Reanimate , Animate Dead , Exhume .
Or Swamp , Dark Ritual , Putrid Imp (with a large creature already in your hand), one of the above reanimating spells.
There’s still some luck necessary (you need a Dark Ritual in your opening hand), but it’s lessened with two potential paths, a smaller number of cards needed than your Green/Red combo, and the fact one of your combo pieces has three possible options.

What format are you trying to do this in, and are you building on a budget? Are you trying to create 6 colorless mana (which isn't too hard to do) or 6 Green mana (which would be fairly difficult to do)? What precisely are you trying to use the mana for?
Answering those questions will make it a lot easier for someone to be able to help you (or be able to explain an easier way to cheat out your proposed goal).
