Try putting ant traps near the plants. You won't have to worry about the plants suffering as the little bastards die.....

some spieces of ant actually "farm" aphids like cattle, and are rewarded by the aphids' with honey dew for their protection.

If they are nesting in your grow then they will use the plant as grazing for their aphids.

repot and get rid of them asap.

ants hate cinnamon many species will not walk across a line of cinnamon repot and spread cinnamon around warm water with a drop or two of dish soap is supposed to work
borax and icing sugar 50/50 might take care of any future wannabee ant colonies good luck
