I'm pretty sure he's asking about 2 species, not strains in the same species. Unfortunately it's way too vague to tell you. Some species depend on others to germinate and grow over them, whereas others can live in harmony side by side.
Generally speaking though, cubensis will take over other species if it has the upper hand. However unless you opened the jars in open air or waved your arms around over open jars, you got nothing to worry about.

#5 Psilocybe cubensis (Cubes)
Psilocybe cubensis can contaminate Panaeolus cyanescens (and allies) cultivations and more rarely other species. The reasons are the same as with oyster contamination (see #3 above) with the additional factor of spores intentionally or mistakenly mislabeled (both species have dark spores so the spore prints are visually similar)
Interestingly, trays of fully colonized Panaeolus can produce a normal flush of Panaeolus mushrooms before becoming overwhelmed by Cubensis mycelium and fruiting cubensis for the 2nd and following flushes. This generally happens when both species are grown in close proximity and the grow area is loaded with free cubensis spores. It appears that the Panaeolus colonized substrate is selective for cubensis colonization. This hints at the possibility of sequential use of manure based substrates.
 
Although Cubensis contamination is common, pictures are almost always of one species or the other. Currently I am only able to find one good Shroomery posted picture showing both species growing in the same container. The two pictures on the right are from the thehawkseye and mycotopia. If I find more Shroomery posted pictures I will replace the the offsite ones.

I think it's hella cool though that cubes germinated on established pans, and took it over in subsequent flushes

That's just luck. I've had spores germinate on agar with zero ge.
You should only have the jar filled 2/3rds the way. You should be able to see the top
